Abstract
In hypophysectomized and thyroidectomized rats, cytosolic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) synthase activity, immunoreactive protein and mRNA levels were all considerably decreased. Administration of L-tri-iodothyronine (T3) resulted in a large increase in all three in hypophysectomized rats and in only a 2-fold increase (reaching the values of control rats) in thyroidectomized rats.
