The effect of thyroid hormone on in vitro rat liver mitochondrial RNA synthesis

CP Barsano, LJ Degroot and GS Getz

Liver mitochondrial preparations from normal, thyroidectomized, and triiodothyronine-treated thyroidectomized rats were assayed for in vitro RNA synthetic activity. Thyroidectomized rat mitochondrial preparations incorporated UTP into RNA at 70% the rate of normal control preparations. Mitochondrial preparations from triiodothyronine- treated thyroidectomized rats incorporated UTP at rates 35%-45% greater than those of sham-injected thyroidectomized rats. These differences were statistically significant and could not be attributed to inequalities in mitochondrial sampling, dilution of labeled precursor specific activity, nucleotide substrate concentrations, or differences in ribonuclease activities.
