For a better characterization of thyrotoxicosis effects, 16 cats were induced into thyrotoxicosis by intaking a dose of 150 μg/kg of sodium L-thyroxine every 24 hours during 42 days. The hormonal levels were evaluated by radioimmunoassay technique and the bone mineral density of the right distal radius extremity was measured through the radiographic optical densitometry. Was verified significant bone demineralization seven days of hormonal intake as weel as radius demineralization.695-701porBone demineralizationCatHyperthyroidismThyrotoxicosisAnimaliaArtigoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-476490996862-s2.0-47649099686.pdf87278970805222894065105014625753
