title: [Effect of insulin on anabolic processes and growth in hypothyroid rats at various age periods].
abstract: Studies have been made on a possibility of compensation of growth retardation in hypothyroid rats by insulin. In 30-day rats, compensation is not complete, although hypothyroidism is less significant as compared to that in animals which received merkazolil together with insulin. Further administration of insulin to rats up to the 90th day, resulted in a significant increase in the growth rate of skeletal muscles, body mass, protein content of skeletal muscles, as well as glycogen content of the liver and skeletal muscles. Thyroid insufficiency may be compensated by insulin alone, i.e. without simultaneous administration of thyroid hormones.
