[The effect of thyroid hormones on the content of glycoprotein fractions and their carbohydrate-containing components in rat blood serum]. 1975

N I Kuz'mak

In blood serum of 195 male rats an effect of different thyroid hormones on alterations in content of glycoprotein fractions and their separate carbohydrate containing components was simultaneously studied. A correlation was established between alterations in the glycoprotein fractions and content of seromucoids, sialic acids, hexoses associated with proteins, hexosamine, haptoglobin, transferrin, ceruloplasmin and fucose in blood serum. Dynamics of alterations of these values was studied. The normalization of the tests studied was correlated with the type of hormone used, its dose, duration of the hormone administration and the emotional state of the animals. The mechanisms of alterations in content of the blood glycoproteins, their interrelationship and biosynthesis are discussed.
