Abstract
Experiments are reported on the effects of the adm. of MgSO4, NaI, thyroxin, and thyrotrophic hormone on the blood Mg partition in normal dogs. The adm. of MgSO4, NaI, and thyroxin produced no appreciable change in the % of bound Mg. Injns. of thyrotrophic hormone produced an increase in the % of bound Mg, followed by a reduction to levels considerably below the control values. After the injs. of the drug were discontinued, the percentage of bound Mg increased beyond the control levels. The possible significance of these findings in relation to clinical Graves'' disease is discussed.
