Abstract
Prolactin at a daily dose of 500g fated to influence thyroidal 125 I uptake in sexually mature male and ovariectomized female rats. The lowered mean uptake value in prolactin treated intact females is apparently due to the lack of normal oestrusassociated elevation in iodine accumulation. The possible mechanism by which this could have taken phace is discussed.
