Abstract
The concentration of thyro-tropic hormone in blood and various organs of the rat 5 minutes after the intravenenous injection of 3 mg of the hormone was studied. It was found that 10-30% of the injected dose was pres-ent in the kidneys. At this time approximately 50% of the dose was present intravascularly. No specific absorption by the liver or thyroid tissue was found.Keywords
