Abstract
Summary The capacity for heat production, under the influence of the same amount of noradrenaline, in the rat was significantly higher in the evening (20.00 h) than in the morning (07.00 h). Thyroidectomy produces not only a lower level of heat production, but also a complete disappearance of the differences between the morning and the evening experiments.
