1. The effects of ouabain on hepatic oxygen uptake, cell membrane potential, and Na‐K transport were examined at 37 degrees C during non‐recirculating perfusion of isolated livers from fasted normal rats and rats treated with triiodothyronine (T3). The perfusate was Krebs‐Ringer bicarbonate buffer containing albumin and bovine erythrocytes. 2. Treatment with T3 increased the rate of hepatic oxygen uptake by 30% (i.e. by 0‐83 (micromole/min) per gram liver). 3. After shifting to perfusate containing 2‐5 mM ouabain, a 4‐5 mV depolarization and maximal rates of net hepatic K release and Na uptake occurred within 2 min in both thyroid states. These changes were not accompanied by any significant change in the rates of hepatic oxygen uptake. 4. T3‐treatment increased the maximal, post‐ouabain net flux of K by 29% (i.e. by 0‐52 (muequiv/min) per gram liver). The T3‐indlced increase in the net flux of Na (19%) did not achieve statistical significance. 5. In either thyroid state, the observed passive fluxes of Na and K were calculated to be balanced by active vluxes at the expense of 5‐6% of the observed rate of hepatic oxygen uptake. 6. The results indicate that hyperthyroidism may enhance the rate of hepatic Na‐K transport, but the energy expenditure due to this process appears to be too small to make any important contribution to thyroid calorigenesis in perfused rat liver.
