β¦ Synopsis
Three group~'-~ have independently investigated the metabolic clearan* of antipyrine in thyroid disease in man. Each study demonstrates an increased clearance of antipyrine in hyperthyroidism and a reduced clearance in hypothyroidism when compared with the euthyroid (normal) state. MethimazoIe (1-methyl-2-me~ptoimidazole; MMI) is the active metabolite of carbimazole (I-methyl-2-mercapto-3catbethoxyimidazole; CBZ), a drug commonly used to control hyperthyroidism in man (Fig. 1).

Previous studies suggest that plasma acetate may be an important fuel in man, accounting for approximately 10% of energy expenditure. Available methods for the determination of plasma acetate kinetics are difficult and time consuming. We describe here a procedure for the determination of plasma acet
