Abstract
The effects of thiouracil on the disturbances of Ca, P, N2 and creatin metabolism occurring in Graves'' disease were found comparable to the beneficial results following successful subtotal thyroidectomy or iodine remission. Thiouracil seems to block the thyroid gland from utilizing L2 during enzymatic synthesis of thyroid hormone.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
