title: Latency of thyroid hormone action on heat production in the rat.
abstract: Euthyroid rats had an immediate calorigenic response to L 3-5-3' triiodothyronine (T3) 5 microgram/kg of about +10% lasting 8 hr and a somewhat greater response to T.S.H. Larger doses (50 microgram/kg) of T3 had a latency of 4-5 hr but the response was greater and lasted longer.
