[Effect of triiodotyronine on liver glycogen in gallus domesticus (author's transl)]. 1977

M J Sancho, and J M Macarulla, and J L Segovia

The effect of single injections of triiodotyronine (T3) on liver glycogen levels of Gallus domesticus has been studied at the embryonary and postnatal stages. In starved newborn chickens, after the administration of 4 microgram of T3, an important decrease in liver glucogen is observed between 4 and 10 hours after the injection. In a series of experiments following the chicken development, a gradual increase in glycogen can be seen, until the sixth day after eclosion, with the only exception of newborn chickens. T3 has a gradual and significant effect from the 17 th. incubation day onwards producing a decrease in liver glycogen to values lightly inferior to 50% of the control.

D002642	Chick Embryo	The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching.	Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick

D014284	Triiodothyronine	A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
