For a better characterization of thyrotoxicosis effects on bone metabolism, 16 cats were induced into hyperthyroid state. Results showed that, in some moments a major bone demineralization of the right distal radium estremity promoted an elevation of the serum levels of phosphorus and total alkaline phosphatase.138-143porBone metabolismCatHyperthyroidismThyrotoxicosisAnimaliaArtigoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-781493884712-s2.0-78149388471.pdf87278970805222894065105014625753
