Abstract
The mean difference between bilirubin levels at 2 and 4 days of age was determined in 100 infants. l-Triiodothyronine, 25 [mu]g, significantly depressed the neonatal bilirubinTevel. The drug may exert its effect by accelerating the maturation of the glucuronic acid conjugating system.Keywords
