Summary As demonstrated, chronic administration of cortisone (0.5 mg daily) in condition of normal temperature reduces the thyroid gland activity. Cortisone administration in the same dose against the background of cold stress gave a reverse effect: the thyroid gland function not only was depressed, but the stimulating effect of cold, was even more intensified. The data obtained indicated that the action of corticosteroids on the thyroid gland function in conditions of cold stress differed from that in normal temperature conditions.
