Comparative efficiency of low-esterified pectin and antistrumin during experimental hypofunction of the thyroid gland.
We studied the effects of low-esterified pectin and antistrumin in rats with hypofunction of the thyroid gland modeled by enteral administration of lead acetate. Pectin more rapidly recovered thyroid function than iodine.
