Abstract
1.1. Plasma concentrations of thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3) were monitored for 6 hr in mature male white-tailed deer following i.m. administration of synthetic T4.2.2. Oral administration of 600, 800 and 1000 μg of T4 was mostly ineffectual in increasing plasma levels of T3 and T4.3.3. On the other hand i.m. administration of similar doses of T4 was followed by a higher degree of increase in T3 and lesser degree of increase in T4 levels.4.4. It appears that high doses of T4 (e.g. 1000 μg) are less effective in raising plasma values of T3 or T4 than low or intermediate doses.
