PG - 715-9 AB - After 3 days of starvation, refeeding with carbohydrate (CHO) leads to a rapid increase in plasma T4 and T3, suggesting increased TSH secretion. The aim of the present study was to describe the time course of plasma TSH changes during refeeding with CHO and fat. Repetitive blood samples were obtained from freely moving animals by indwelling jugular venous catheters. Refeeding was performed on the fourth day of starvation at either 1100 or 1900 h, and blood was sampled during the preceding hour and during the following 3 h. In control experiments, blood was sampled over 4 h without refeeding. Refeeding with CHO and fat induced a significant increase in plasma TSH in the first hour. This increase could be abolished by a previous injection of an anti-TRH serum, while normal rabbit serum was without effect. Plasma corticosterone, measured hourly, also showed a tendency to increase with refeeding. It is concluded that refeeding of starved rats represents a reproducible stimulus for TSH secretion.
