The effect of tri-iodothyronine (T3) administration on the utilization of dietary [14C]lipid by the mammary gland and adipose tissue of lactating and litter-removed rats was studied. (1) After an oral load of [1-14C]triolein, the lactating rats treated with T3 (50 micrograms/100 g body wt.) over 24 h showed an increase in 14CO2 production and a decrease in the total [14C]lipid transferred through the mammary gland that was paralleled by a decrease in tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity. (2) T3 administration decreased plasma prolactin in the lactating rats. Prolactin replacement in T3-treated rats restored LPL activity in the mammary gland, but did not increase the amount of dietary [14C]lipid transferred to the milk. (3) Chronic T3 administration (4 days) to lactating rats did not affect pup growth or the lipogenic rate in the mammary gland. (4) The administration of T3 to litter-removed rats inhibited the increase of LPL activity in white adipose tissue and decreased the accumulation of dietary [14C]lipid. This decrease was accompanied by increased 14CO2 production and [14C]lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle and heart. (5) It is concluded that hyperthyroidism depresses LPL activity in mammary gland and white adipose tissue, but not in muscle. The increased accumulation of [14C]lipid in muscle and increased production of 14CO2 in lactating and in litter-removed rats treated with T3 is in part due to the decreased total LPL in mammary gland and adipose tissue respectively, which are therefore less able to compete with muscle for the available plasma triacylglycerols.
