Abstract
Summary
High fat feeding increases blood sugar, liver fats and tissue weights (liver and kidneys). It increases acetoacetate production by liver slices and utilization by kidney slices, but this high rate of utilization is not maintained on prolonged feeding (19 weeks). High fat feeding augments hypothyroidism and suppresses hyperthyroidism to some extent. A beneficial effect of hydrolyzed GCA feeding with high fat diets to hyper- and hypothyroid rats is indicated.
