Influence of thyroid hormones and of methylthiouracil upon collagen content in the liver of rats with hepatic fibrosis. 1986

E Kucharz, and K Olczyk, and M Drózdz, and M Wieczorek

Influence of the administration of thyroid extract and of methylthiouracil on the collagen content in the liver and on hydroxyproline level in serum in rats with or without carbon tetrachloride-induced fibrosis of the liver was investigated. A decrease of collagen content in the liver was found in hyperthyroid rats and an increase of the liver collagen content was observed in hypothyreosis. Similar results were found in animals with fibrosis of the liver.
