Abstract
The rate of blood flow in the forearm was detd. by means of the venous occlusion plethysmographic method. The blood flow repayment following exercise was much greater in the hyperthyroid state than in the period following subtotal thyroidectomy. A correlation was apparent between the level of O2 consumption and the magnitude of the excess blood flow elicited by the exercise. Exercise placed a much greater load upon the circulation in hyper-thyroidism than in the normal state.
