Abstract
Hyperplasia of the thyroid was produced in one group of rats by the adm. of thiocyanate, in another by thiouracil. The thiouracil goiters were the larger. Tracer doses of radioactive I were administered to the control and treated animals 4 hrs. before they were sacrificed. The avg. uptake of radioactive I by the control rat thyroids was 56% of the administered tracer dose, that by thyroids of thiocyanate treated rats, 87%, and that by thiouracil treated, 10%.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
