This study investigated the role of thyroxine on bone growth by injecting it into malnourished weaned and suckling rats. Weaned rats were fed a normal diet or a low-protein, low-energy diet, and injected with saline or thyroxine (5 micrograms/100 g BW) for 22 days. Suckling pups were injected with saline or 2 micrograms of thyroxine, and reared by dams fed a normal diet or a low-protein diet for 15 days. Thyroxine injection decreased body weight gain in both growth stages. Bone length, width and weight were not affected by thyroxine injection in weaned rats. Thyroxine injection increased femur length and tail growth, but did not change bone width in suckling rats. The epiphyseal growth plate and zone of hypertrophic cartilage cells were thinner in malnourished rats than in normal rats at both growth stages, but the number of proliferating chondrocytes was greater in suckling rats that received thyroxine injections than in those that received saline injections. The disappearance of trabeculae was observed in both normal and malnourished weaned rats upon thyroxine injection. These results suggested that retarded bone growth due to malnutrition might be independent of thyroid function in both growth stages.
