Abstract
Serum TSH levels have been quantitated during the various stages of the estrous cycle in female rats. Circulating thyrotropin was found to be higher during early estrus (42.2[plus or minus]6.8 mU/100ml; mean [plus or minus] SE) than during any of the other stages (13.7-22.7 mU/100 ml), and there were no significant differences between these other stages. It is suggested that enhanced TSH secretion during early estrus is partially responsible for increases in thyroidal iodide accumulation previously demonstrated in late estrus.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
