Abstract
Daily administration of L-thyroxine (20 micrograms or 200 micrograms/100 g body weight) to adult male rats decreased jejunal lactase activity by 35% after 2-, 3-, 4- and 10 days. Four days of injections of D-thyroxine (200 micrograms/100 g body weight/day) produced a similar decrease of lactase activity. Sucrase activity was uninfluenced except for a 30% increase after daily injections of L-thyroxine (200 micrograms/100 g body weight) for 10 days. Acid beta-galactosidase activity was unaffected by either D- or L-thyroxine.Entities:
