THE IODINE CONTENT OF THE BLOOD FOLLOWING THYROIDECTOMY.
1. After thyroidectomy in dogs the iodine content of the blood is increased. 2. The administration of fresh thyroid gland of sheep by mouth to thyroidectomized dogs causes the iodine content of the blood to fall so that it returns to the normal preoperative level; when the thyroid feeding is discontinued the iodine content of the blood is again increased.
