title: Hypomyelination in the cerebrum of the congenitally hypothyroid mouse (hyt).
abstract: 2',3'-Cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase activity in the cerebrum of the inherited primary hypothyroid mouse (hyt/hyt) is reduced in comparison with the normal heterozygate (hyt/+). No differences were observed with regard to DNA and RNA content and the RNA/DNA ratio. The results of this study indicate that hypomyelination in the hypothyroid mouse is restricted to the cerebrum, and is not related to arrested glial proliferation.
