[Morphokinetic reactions in the thyroid, parathyroid, and tracheal glands of the albino rat after anaesthesia with thiobutabarbitone sodium and diethyl ether (author's transl)].
A significant decrease was observed in nuclear volume of the follicular cells of the thyroid gland and the cells of the parathyroid of albino rats subjected to ether anaesthesia, in contrast to generally unchanged nuclear size in animals anaesthetized by thiobutabarbitone sodium. It is suggested that ether exerts its depressant influence mainly by direct action on the function of the follicular cells of the thyroid. Thiobutabarbitone Sodium probably influences thyroid function especially by its antithyroid-drug effects, which have been reported by other authors. The highly significant increase of nuclear volume in the tracheal glands during ether narcosis is referred to the mucous secretion activating stimulus of ether vapors.
