Abstract
Expts. were conducted on the comparative effects of lyxoflavin and liver residue on the gain in body wt., survival rate and ovarian wt. of immature hyperthyroid rats fed a purified ration containing casein as the dietary protein and sucrose as the dietary carbohydrate. Liver residue prolonged survival and completely counteracted the retardation in body and gonadal wt. observed in thyroid-fed rats on the purified basal ration. Lyxoflavin was without significant effect.
