  • Title: Work performance, thermoregulation and muscle metabolism in thyroidectomized goats (Capra hircus).
    Author: Kaciuba-Usciłko H, Jessen C, Feistkorn G, Brzezinska Z.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol A Comp Physiol; 1987; 87(4):915-21. PubMed ID: 2887390.
    Abstract:
    1. Thyroid hormone deficiency resulted in a markedly diminished work efficiency of goats exercising on a treadmill at an ambient temperature of 30 degrees C. 2. The close relationship between the exercise-induced increase in core temperature and the magnitude of evaporative heat loss, characteristic for intact animals, was nearly completely abolished after thyroidectomy. 3. Muscle glycogen utilization and lactic acid accumulation during exercise were enhanced in thyroidectomized animals in spite of the lower work rate and shorter duration of exercise in comparison with euthyroid goats.
