The influence of triiodothyronine (5 microgram/kg of body weight, SC, q 12 h for 7 days) on antipyrine (AP, 25 mg/kg, IV) plasma elimination and urinary metabolite excretion was studied in castrated male dwarf goats. After triiodothyronine treatment, a significant increase in AP elimination was found. However, the observed changes in clearances for production of AP metabolites (nor-AP, 3-hydroxy-methyl-AP; 4-hydroxy-AP, and 4,4'-dihydroxy-AP) do not suggest a clear selectivity of triiodothyronine toward any of the metabolic pathways of AP.
