[Effect of uranium on iodine metabolic kinetics in the thyroid gland (short-term intervals)]
Abstract
Administration of uranium nitrate to rats is seen to be followed by a rise of the radio-iodide organic transformation constant and by a reduction in the proportion of the radio-iodide fraction released into the blood from the throid. The ratio glandular radio-iodide/plasmic radio-iodide decreases.
