Thyroid-hormone effects on ornithine decarboxylase.

PMCID: PMC1162395  PMID: 7236237

Abstract

We examined thyroidectomized, normal and hyperthyroid rats and found that ornithine decarboxylase activity was directly correlated with thyroid functional state in heart and liver and unaffected in brain, testes and spleen, phenomena that correlate with the known effect of thyroid hormone on protein synthesis.
