Sexual differences on thyroxine 5'-deiodinase (5'-D) in the Harderian gland of Syrian hamsters were investigated. We compared the 24-h profile of 5'-D activity in male and female hamsters, observing a clear rhythm in males but not in females. Female values were always significantly higher than male
