Abstract
Summary
Treatment of animals with 100 μxg of L-thyroxine resulted in great increases in liver G-6-Pase activity and depleted glycogen stores. Comparable animals rendered hypothyroid by radiothyroidectomy exhibited a decrease in G-6-Pase activity and considerable deposition of glycogen when compared to thyrotoxic animals. No differences in glycogen content were noted between euthyroid and hypothyroid animals. Possible physiological consequences of these changes were discussed.
