Abstract

The effects of short-term administration of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and methyltiouracile (MTU) on liver and plasma lipid levels in female rats have been comparatively studied T3 increases the levels of all the studied liver lipids and decreases the plasma lipids. T4 produces smaller and even, in some cases (liver triglycerides and cholesterol esters), opposite effects. The administration of MTU produces, in general, opposite effects to T3 and T4.
