Abstract
(1) After preliminary feeding with a mixed diet, rats and rabbits were furnished a standard acid diet consisting of yellow corn, bran and oats, while certain lots were fed glucose, with and without the addition of desiccated thyroid extract. (2) In the mature rats, pregnancies appeared in all lots. Thyroid dosage induced injury to the young during lactation, but did not inhibit pregnancy nor cause resorption of the young. (3) In the rabbits, the experiments are not particularly significant on account of snuffles affecting the stock. (4) In young rats thyroid with glucose produced steady gain in weight, while with glucose alone, maturity was stimulated and early pregnancies resulted. (5) Low thyroid dosage induced growth of the bones, with increased weights. (6) The addition of glucose to the diet containing iodine is particularly interesting in the light of the recent discovery that inosite has the structural formula of glucose.
