The effect of thyroxine on the oxygen consumption of the ocellated skink, Chalcides ocellatus (Forskal).
Acutely administered thyroxine caused significant increase in the whole body rate of oxygen consumption of C. ocellatus at temperatures between 4 and 25 degrees C. No significant increase in the oxygen consumption was observed over the voluntary body temperature range of 30-40 degrees C.
