title: [Determination of thyroxine and triiodothyronine in the thyroid glands of encephalectomized rat fetuses].
abstract: Concentration of thyroxin and triiodothyronine in the thyroid gland of encephalectomized and intact fetuses of rats with normal and prolonged gestation period was determined by means of isotope methods. Encephalectomy of 19-day old fetuses did not produce any significant effect on the concentration of thyroid hormones in the gland 2 and 4 days after the operation. The results obtained pointed to the absence of the hypothalamic control over the thyroid function in prenatal development of rats.
