Abstract:
:X-ray microanalysis has been used to determine elemental content in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes of hyperthyroid rats in comparison with euthyroid controls. No significant differences were found for any examined element (sodium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, potassium, magnesium and calcium). In contrast to earlier reports from another laboratory, these data indicate that thyroid hormones do not substantially affect elemental content in rat hepatocytes.
