Abstract
Doses of 1-5 cc. cod-liver oil given to 27 rats caused a depletion of the colloidal content of the acini in the thyroids. Three groups of 10 control rats receiving corn oil, viosterol, and cod-liver oil minus vitamin A, respectively, showed no thyroid change. No change in basal metabolism was noted in any group.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
