The properties of regenerating rat liver mitochondria are not changed by the thyroidectomy. Thus, hepatectomy induces, in thyroidectomized rats as in normal ones, a decrease in the activity of the outer membrane enzymes, a stimulation of oxidative phosphorylations and an increase of the turn over rate of mitochondrial proteins. Thyroid hormones do not seem to have a major effect upon the liver regeneration mechanism.
