  • Title: Effect of dietary protein and fat content on tri-iodothyronine-induced thermogenesis in young chicks (Gallus domesticus).
    Author: Jong HB, Muramatsu T, Okumura J.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol A Comp Physiol; 1990; 95(3):429-33. PubMed ID: 1970530.
    Abstract:
    1. The effect of dietary protein and fat content on tri-iodothyronine (T3) induced thermogenesis was studied in young chicks (Gallus domesticus). 2. Irrespective of dietary protein and fat contents employed, energy and fat retained were consistently decreased and heat production was increased, but protein retained was not affected by the T3 administration throughout the experiments. 3. Little or no effect of dietary protein and fat contents on T3-induced thermogenesis was observed. 4. Increased heat production by the T3 administration was primarily brought about by a reduction in retained fat which served as fuel to give rise to extraneous heat.
