Abstract
Summary
Feeding of hydrolyzed glucose cycloacetoacetate (GCA) promotes growth in normal animals and prevents excess of aceto-acetate production by liver slices in normal as well as hyperthyroid rats. It accelerates acetoacetate utilization by kidney slices in normal as well as in hyper- and hypothyroid rats. Higher percentage of liver glycogen and lower blood sugar was found in animals fed with hydrolyzed GCA, as compared to their appropriate controls.
