The responses given by Xenopus laevis adults to the environmental shift from water to moist moss and concomitant prolactin treatment were studied. The results concerning the interrenal steroid-dehydrogenase activity and the intestine alkaline phosphomonoesterase suggest that the shift from water to moss enhances the activity of the interrenal gland, while prolactin was seen to depress them in the animals reared on moss. No effect seems to be exerted by prolactin on the animals kept in water.
Further biochemical data concerning normal and prolactin treated Xenopus laevis (Daudin) adults reared in water or moist moss.

Abstract
The responses given by Xenopus laevis adults to the environmental shift from water to moist moss and concomitant prolactin treatment were studied. The results concerning the interrenal steroid-dehydrogenase activity and the intestine alkaline phosphomonoesterase suggest that the shift from water to moss enhances the activity of the interrenal gland, while prolactin was seen to depress them in the animals reared on moss. No effect seems to be exerted by prolactin on the animals kept in water.
