“…In a preliminary note of experiments we undertook with a similar design, one of the authors (YOSHIMURA, M. et al, 1969) proposed as a hypothesis for a further investigation that higher fat intake promotes thyroid activity and hence overcomes seasonal variations of BMR. On the other hand, KUROSHIMA et al (1971) presented a paper which demonstrated a decrease of thyroid activity with animal experiments similar to our preliminary ones. In view of the problem of opposite results, another dietary condition was designed to evaluate the effect of high fat diet on thermal acclimation.…”

“…(1962) reported the reverse conclusion concerning thyroidal effect of the high-fat diet . According to KUROSHIMA et al (1971), their high-fat fed rats presented a lower conversion ratio, lower T/S, but higher PB131I compared with the control group . The fractional turnover rate of exogenous 131I-thyroxine in the high-fat groups was the same as the control diet group.…”
