THE SELECTIVE UPTAKE OF BROMINE BY THE THYROID GLAND WITH RADIOACTIVE BROMINE AS INDICATOR

Abstract
The uptake of bromine by various tissues of the rat and guinea pig was investigated with radio-active Br as indicator. The normal thyroid gland as well as the hypertrophied gland produced by injs. of thyro-trophic hormone showed a much greater uptake of labeled Br than any of the other tissues examined. The content of radiobromine in the thyroid was too high to be explained by simple diffusion from serum.
