title: Time course of the change in nuclear 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine receptors of skeletal muscle in relation to energy intake.
abstract: Nuclear triiodothyronine receptors have been investigated in skeletal muscle from young pigs living at thermal neutrality (26 degrees C). Animals were fed at a high (H) or low (L) level of energy intake for 3 or 21 days and killed at 6 or 24 h after the last meal. Receptor numbers were significantly greater on the H than the L intake, even after only 3 days of treatment. The difference in receptors between animals on H and L diets was somewhat less at 6 compared with 24 h after feeding. It is postulated that these changes could be mediated through the action of glucagon.
