ABS>The influence of chronic irradiation on the thyroid gland was studied. The state of the process of secretion of the intrafollicular colloid, as well as the ability of the thyroid tissue for proliferation, was investigated by introducing methylthiouracil into the organism. The hormone content in the gland was determined by biological testing on Rana temporaria. The functional activity of the thyroid gland was assessed by the absorption of indicator doses of I/sup 131/. It was shown that thyroid gland proliferation in conditions of chronic irradiation is reduced in comparison with the control. The process of intrafollicular colloid secretion becomes impaired during chronic irradiation. Although the ability to absorb I/su p131/ is almost unchanged, the hormone synthesis in chronic irradiation becomes considerably disturbed. (auth)
