A population of rats treated with a single dose of cortisol on their first day of life and a population of rats underfed since day sixteen of gestation until sacrificed have been studied. Body, brain and liver glycogen content have been measured at eight, twelve and twenty-two days of life and compared to controls of the same age. Pituitary growth hormone and thyrotrophin content have also been measured in the same population of animals and at the same stages of life. Results are compared to those found in "neo-T4" rats -- which receive 30 micrograms T4 in 5 doses during the first days of life -- at the same ages.
对出生第一天接受单剂量皮质醇处理的大鼠群体以及自妊娠第16天起直至被处死一直营养不良的大鼠群体进行了研究。在出生8天、12天和22天时测量了身体、大脑和肝脏的糖原含量，并与相同年龄的对照组进行了比较。还在相同动物群体的相同生命阶段测量了垂体生长激素和促甲状腺激素的含量。将结果与在相同年龄的“新T4”大鼠（即在生命的最初几天接受5次剂量共30微克T4的大鼠）中发现的结果进行了比较。
