alpha-Glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activities in liver and brain mitochondria from neonatal rats treated with L-thyroxine

Abstract
Liver alpha-GPD undergoes a dramatic increase in newborn rats treated with large doses of L-thyroxine, indicating the elevated exposure of peripheral tissues to the hormone.In contrast, brain enzyme remains unchanged in the two mitochondria populations, free and synaptic.
