The rehabilitative effects of exogenous thyroxine on infant development of undernourished animals were examined. Thyroxine injection accelerated the rate of body growth, age at eye opening, tooth eruption, and several emitted behaviors in undernourished infant animals. The data indirectly support previous findings that undernutrition induces hypothyroidism and that exogenous thyroxine might be an effective rehabilitative agent.
研究了外源性甲状腺素对营养不良动物幼崽发育的康复作用。甲状腺素注射加快了营养不良幼崽动物的身体生长速度、睁眼年龄、出牙时间以及几种发出行为的速度。这些数据间接支持了先前的研究结果,即营养不良会导致甲状腺功能减退,外源性甲状腺素可能是一种有效的康复剂。
