1. The effects of thyroidectomy and of ;acute' and ;chronic' administration of thyroxine on the synthesis of folate coenzymes were studied by determining the liver contents of folate active derivatives and the enzymic activities involved in their biosynthesis. The effect of thyroxine on the same enzymes in vitro was also studied. 2. In thyroidectomized rats the liver contents of folate coenzymes did not change except for a slight decrease in the contents of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate and tetrahydrofolate compared with those in control rats. 3. In the same animals serine hydroxymethyltransferase and formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase activities decreased markedly. 4. The ;chronic' administration of thyroxine to thyroidectomized rats caused more evident variations in the liver contents of folate coenzymes and in particular a decrease in the contents of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate, tetrahydrofolate, 5(or 10)-formyl derivatives of tetrahydropteroylpolyglutamate and of 5(or 10)-formyl derivatives of pteroylpolyglutamate. 5. The enzymic activities did not show significant variations. 6. The ;acute' administration of thyroxine caused changes in the liver contents of some folate derivatives such as 10-formyldihydrofolate, 10-formylfolate, tetrahydrofolate and the 10-formyl derivative of dihydropteroylpolyglutamate. In these animals also the enzymic activities were unchanged. 7. No effect of thyroxine on enzymic activities in vitro was observed.
