Absence of a thyroxine effect on the sodium content in the frog urinary bladder.
As a contribution to the discussion whether in vitro thyroxine effects occur at all on anuran epithelial membranes it has been shown that thyroxine 10(-6) and 10(-4) M) produces neither a detectable change in the content of ions and water in the tissue of the urinary bladder of Rana temporaria, nor a change in the oxygen consumption of the bladder or skin of this frog species.
