Starvation-induced decreased sensitivity of resting metabolic rate to triiodothyronine

C Wimpfheimer, E Saville, MJ Voirol, E Danforth Jr, and AG Burger

The decrease in resting oxygen consumption induced by starvation was found to occur not only in euthyroid rats but also in hypothyroid and even in hypothyroid animals treated with triiodothyronine. Furthermore, the effectiveness of triiodothyronine was decreased when given to hypothyroid animals.
