Although 1-methyl-2-mercaptoimidazole (Methimazole) has been shown to be more potent than thiouracil in controlling the clinical symptoms of hyperthyroidism (Stanley & Astwood, 1949), little has been published about its effects on normal laboratory animals. It seemed of interest therefore to report results obtained from the use of this substance in the course of experiments for which groups of rats with altered metabolic rates were required. The metabolic rate was raised by administration of triiodothyronine.

EXPERIMENTAL METHODS AND RESULTS

For measurement of metabolic rate, a closed circuit system was used, air being circulated by motor-driven bellows. The animals were contained in four cylindrical glass chambers immersed in a constant temperature water bath. CO2 was absorbed on soda lime and the amount of oxygen consumed measured by specially constructed Krogh-type spirometers, filled with water at the same temperature as that in the main water bath. Each chamber was capable of holding
