[Effect of experimental changes in thyroid function on oxidative metabolism and glutamate dehydrogenase activity in the limbic system of the rat].

The oxidative metabolism and GDH activity has been studied in the following regions of the brain: frontal cortex, as tissue control, adenohypophysis, hypothalamus and limbic system in adult male rats subjected to alterations of the thyroid function due to excess (by hyperthyroidism with L-thyroxine and thyrotoxicosis with Tri-iodothyronine) or defect (chronic hypothyroidism by thyroidectomy, 131-I treatment and low iodine diet). A different influence of the H.T.
