The effect of chronic ethanol consumption on the rate of whole animal and perfused liver oxygen consumption.
In order to assess the thyroid state of rats chronically treated with an alcohol containing diet, the rate of minimal oxygen consumption, the level of serum thyroid hormones and the rate of perfused liver oxygen consumption were measured. In no case was there any evidence for alcohol induced systemic or hepatic hyperthyroidism or hypermetabolism.
