Abstract
The chronic administration of relatively small doses of thyroxine to cats and guinea-pigs gave rise to an increased excitability of the heart associated with an increased sensitivity to vagal stimulation, an increased mitochondrial respiration and phosphorylation, and an increase in mitochondrial mass. These changes occurred even before the appearance of tachycardia.Keywords
