RADIOACTIVE IODINE AS AN INDICATOR IN THYROID PHYSIOLOGY III. IODINE COLLECTION AS A CRITERION OF THYROID FUNCTION IN RABBITS INJECTED WITH THYROTROPIC HORMONE1

摘要: IN PREVIOUS PUBLICATIONS (I, 2) we have discussed the collection of iodine by thyroid in short intervals after injection. The experiments described covered both normal and hyperplastic glands. was referred to size gross appearance gland, method treatment animal. Those experiments, while quantitative, involved parameters which were known not be uniquely or specifically indicative function. data served, however, establish approximately gland various functional states. present designed correlate with criteria function, particular basal metabolic rate mean acinar cell height. This paper will concerned rabbits injected anterior pituitary thyrotropic hormone. standard dose hormone nominally 15 guinea pig units hormone,2 administered subcutaneous...
