“…Meals containing moderate amounts of carbohydrates (diets A and B) were associated with increases in serum T4 concentrations during the first several hours after meal completion. These observations are consistent with reports that T4 secretion rates and serum T4 concentrations are in¬ creased after the ingestion of meals containing carbo¬ hydrate by pigs (Ingram & Kaciuba-Uscilko, 1977;Ingram & Evans, 1980;Dauncey, Ingram, Macari & Ramsden, 1982), man (Spaulding, Chopra, Sherwin & Lyall, 1976;Danforth, Horton, O'Connell et al 1979) and cattle (Blum, Gingins, Schnyder et al 1979 ;Blum, Thomson & Bickel, 1979e). In addition, thyro¬ trophin (TSH) secretion has been reported to increase after feeding in rats (Hugues, Burger, Grouselle et al 1983) and man (Hugues, Burger, Pekary & Hershman, 1984).…”
