THE FAILURE OF THYROXINE TO INFLUENCE THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION OF THIAMINE-DEFICIENT MICE

Abstract
SUMMARY: The failure of adrenalectomized mice to respond to thyroxine by an increase in oxygen uptake was not reversed by intramuscular injections of thiamine. Thiamine-deficient mice were found to be incapable of responding to thyroxine by an increase in the metabolic rate.
