Abstract
It was found that the thyroid attains its maximum relative weight during the first three weeks of postnatal life. The concentration of thyroidal iodine declines during the 3rd week; the highest value was found in the 7th week of life. Serum protein-bound iodine (PBI) and the majority of tissues showed the highest iodine concentration at 17 days of life, the muscle at 3 days, and the alimentary tract at 8 days. Beside the thyroid, the highest concentration was found in the stomach (635 ng I/g, 8th day) and the pelt (369 ng I/g, 23rd day) The serum contained 49 ng PBI/ml (17th day).
