Abstract

The thyroid status of rats is known to influence the histochemical and biochemical myosin adenosine triphosphatase (M-ATPase) activity of the soleus muscle. In the hypothyroid state, denervated soleus muscles are not subject to that influence. Our experiments indicated that in the hyperthyroid state fibers of the denervated soleus muscle show a profound change from acid-stable M-ATPase positive to acid-stable M-ATPase negative. We concluded that this change was induced by the hyperthyroid state and was not neurally mediated.
