Prepubescent male and female rats (N = 56) were surgically thyroidectomized and given stomach loads of .9% or 6.0% NaCl. The 6.0% NaCl, thyroidectomized S s responded by decreasing food intake and losing weight 24 hours after loading. Normal S s did not, and no sex difference was found. The .9% NaCl thyroidectomized S s drank significantly less than the normals. The results were interpreted in terms of thyroid hormone activity which affects renal function.
对青春期前的雄性和雌性大鼠（N = 56）进行手术切除甲状腺，并给予0.9%或6.0%的氯化钠胃内负荷。给予6.0%氯化钠后，甲状腺切除的受试动物在负荷后24小时通过减少食物摄入量和体重减轻做出反应。正常受试动物则没有，且未发现性别差异。给予0.9%氯化钠后，甲状腺切除的受试动物饮水量明显低于正常动物。结果根据影响肾功能的甲状腺激素活性进行了解释。
