The effects of a high dextrose liquid diet containing ethanol and two different control liquid diets on serum and brain thyroid axis hormones and liver and brain deiodinase activities were studied in groups of adult male Fischer‐344 (F‐344) rats. Rats received either lab chow, ad libitum; a nutritionally complete 10% (w/v) ethanol liquid diet, ad libitum; a volume of either a high carbohydrate (HC) or a high fat (HF) isocaloric control liquid diet equal to the volume of diet consumed by rats given the ethanol diet; or the HC control diet, ad libitum. Consumption of liquid diets was measured daily and body weights recorded every other day throughout the study. Hormones were measured after 2, 4, or 8 weeks and deiodinase activities after 4 or 8 weeks. Also, groups of rats were given the 10% ethanol diet, ad libitum, or pair‐fed the HC control diet intermittently for 8 weeks, and thyroid hormones and thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH) response to thyrotropin‐releasing hormone (TRH) were determined.Within 2 weeks rats became accustomed to all diets and thereafter weight gain was comparable in all groups. Small differences between serum thyroid hormones of rats fed the ethanol diet and pair‐fed HC or HF controls may have been caused by lower T4secretion in ethanol‐fed rats. Marked differences in free and total T4and T3between F‐344 rats fed liquid diets for 4 or 8 weeks and rats fed lab chow probably resulted from higher liver 5′‐deiodinase activity in rats fed liquid diets. Sprague‐Dawley rats showed similar but less marked dietary‐induced changes in thyroid hormone levels than did F‐344 rats. No differences in cerebral cortical levels of T4or T3were observed among F‐344 rats fed the ethanol liquid diet, rats pair‐fed HC control diet, or rats that received lab chow. No significant differences in basal thyroid axis hormones or TSH response to TRH were observed among F‐344 rats intermittently fed ethanol diet, control diet, or lab chow.
