The Mouse Thyroid and Radioactive Iodine (I131) II. The Excretion Rate of Radioactive Iodine Following Its Injection into the Adult Nursing and Non-Nursing Mouse, and Its Rate of Absorption by the Suckling Young
- Columbia Univ., New York, NY (United States)
This is the second in the series of studies on the effect of radioactive iodine (I131) on the lactating adult and the nursing young mice„ In this study it -was the purpose to determine the excretion rate of subcutaneously injected radioactive iodine and its concentration rate in the nursing litter. Radioactive iodine is being used more and more extensively, not only in studying the various thyroid disturbances in clinical medicine, but in radiobiological research relating to the normal thyroid physiology. It seemed pertinent to determine the relation between the amount of injected radioiodine and its concentration in the adult, and the effect on this concentration when the adult is a lactating female with a newborn suckling litter. The approach to this analysis was by way of determining the excretion rate following injection into the mother of various doses of NaI131 and over varying periods.
