Abstract
Doses of I (0.00065 mgm.-0.00305 mgm.) in the form of Lugol''s soln. given to rabbits throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in a basal metabolism lower than that of controls. Histologically the glands of the treated animals showed less activity than those of controls.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
