Abstract
The protection afforded by vitamin B12 against thyrotoxicosis in the rat was explained as due to a restoration in part of the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation caused by thyroxine. Since it is known that osmotic damage to mitochondria could cause a diminution in oxidative phosphorylation, the possibility was considered that in hyperthyroidism there may be an altered distribution of vitamin B12 in the cell fractions.
