Abstract
Crystalline vit. B12 was fed to immature rats of both sexes in order to determine whether the vit. could alter thyroid function in normal or thyroprotein-treated rats. The growth rate of the rats supplemented with the vitamin was increased above that of the normal or thyroprotein-treated controls, but there was no significant effect on thyroid wt. or uptake of I131. It is concluded that vit. B12 does not alter normal thyroid activity in rats.
