| Abstract: | The levels of thyroid, pituitary and corticosteroid hormones--thyroxine, triiodthyronine, 11-oxicorticosteroids in blood serum, somatotropin in pituitary and processes of protein assimilation are studied in rats during early postnatal period. The highest endogen production of thyroxine, triiodthyronine and somatotropin is determined in 15 days old infant rats. The highest levels of protein utilization are determinated in 7-15 days old rats, then the process decreases with going over to definitive nutrition. Endogen production of anabolic hormones--thyroxine, triiodthyronine and somatotropin correlates to high levels of protein utilization in infant rats during the first days after birth. |
