Size of Cardiac Ventricles in Experimental Hyperthyroidism in the Rat

Edward J. Van Liere, D. A. Sizemore, J. E. Hunnell

Abstract

Experimental hyperthyroidism was induced in male white rats by the administration of T3. A significant degree of cardiac hypertrophy was produced. The hearts were fixed in a 4% solution of formaldehyde, and the ventricles were partitioned and weighed. The right ventricle showed proportionally a greater degree of hypertrophy (on a percentage basis almost twofold) than the left.
