title: The differences in myeloperoxidase activity and consumption of thyroid hormones by bactericidal systems in guinea pigs with peritoneal contamination.
abstract: In this experiment, the utilization of thyroid hormones and the alterations in myeloperoxidase activity were determined during contamination of the peritoneum after both 10(6) and and 10(9) E. Coli injection, intraperitoneally. During contamination with 10(9) E. Coli thyroid hormones decreased and myeloperoxidase activity increased significantly.
