N2 - 1. 1. Chronic exposure of golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) to a high ambient temperature (34°C) depresses body weight as well as the weights of the interscapular brown adipose tissue and several endocrine glands. 2. 2. In some instances pinealectomy prevented-completely or partially-the effect of heat on the endocrine glands, indicating a role for the pineal in moderating some heat-induced endocrine changes.
