Abstract
As a result of acute and chronic scurvy, the thyroid shows an increased amount of interfollicular cells, decrease in colloid, increase in number of vacuoles, and lengthening of the cells lining the follicles; the degree of change depending on length of time the animals survive the scurvy-producing diet. Acute starvation (1 cc. orange juice and water daily) revealed no changes in the thyroid by the method employed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
