title: Thyroxine-induced changes of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase activity and glycogen, protein, RNA and DNA contents in the rat.
abstract: Thyroxine (T4) in a dose of 0.1 microgram per g body weight caused in the rat a significant increase in hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase activity, while a reduction of this enzyme activity was observed after 1 microgram of T4 per g. The hepatic glycogen content was found to be depleted and a marked elevation in protein, RNA and DNA contents were observed after both doses of T4.
