The effects of thyroidectomy and treatment with thyroxine (T4) were studied in immature male rats to evaluate the role of the thyroid in the development of testicular functions. Thyroidectomy inhibited gametogenesis and development of the Leydig cell in these rats. However, the effects could be reversed by administration of 10 micrograms T4 (i.p.) daily for 30 days.
在未成熟雄性大鼠中研究了甲状腺切除术和甲状腺素（T4）治疗的效果，以评估甲状腺在睾丸功能发育中的作用。甲状腺切除术抑制了这些大鼠的配子发生和睾丸间质细胞的发育。然而，通过每天腹腔注射10微克T4，持续30天，这些影响可以得到逆转。
