TY - JOUR AU - REICHERT, F. L. AB - Abstract IT IS NOW WELL ESTABLISHED that increased concentrations of lipids appear in the blood during thyroid deficiency (1, 2). In a recent communication from this laboratory, the blood lipids of dogs were observed for as long as 2,14 days after thyroidectomy during a nutritional state in which the same caloric intake was main-tained during the entire period of observation, both before and after thyroidectomy (3). Changes in the levels of cholesterol esters were observed as early as 7 days after excision of the thyroid glands, and by the time 29 days had elapsed definite changes in total fatty acids had occurred. Not all lipid constituents of the blood responded to the same degree, for phospholipid and free cholesterol seldom showed pronounced increases after thyroidectomy. The increased concentrations of total fatty acids and cholesterol esters were not of constant occurrence This content is only available as a PDF.
