A CLINICO-PATHOLOGICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE FUNCTIONAL-STRUCTURAL RELATIONSHIP OF GOITER

Abstract
A report of 540 cases of goiter (294 exophthalmic, 50 toxic nodular, 200 nodular and non-toxic colloid) shows a marked relationship between function and structure of the thyroid gland. KI or ant. pituitary extract administered to normal guinea pigs resulted in increased function and hyperplastic change of the thyroids.
