Rats maintained on a low-iodine diet for 2 years grew fairly normally, but showed thyroid hyperplasia and colloid depletion.
Radio-iodine was taken up rapidly to a high level and equally rapidly discharged.
There was wide variation in the size of the thyroids, but great uniformity in the histological pattern and manner of utilizing radio-iodine.
Nodules appeared in the thyroid from the 5th month in increasing numbers. They were of a trabecular type, and autoradiographically their iodine uptake was, as a rule, similar to that of the rest of the gland.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
