DiscussionThe results tabulated in Table 1 show that for the corresponding concentrations of organic and inorganic iodide found in blood, the fraction of radioactivity transferred on the organic Compound 48 hours after the beginning of the exchange reaction, is about the same, for all the iodoaminoacids studied, and it is decreased by increasing the ratio of concentrations of the inorganic over the organic iodide. Table 3 shows that the greater the ionic strength of the Solution is, the smaller is the fraction of exchange during 48 hours, becoming zero in a Solution of ionic strength equal to 0.0135. The same results are deduced from the Table 2. Therefore, in blood or in the surroundings of the thyroid gland, where the ionic strength is about equal to that of a KRP Solution, no exchange between the iodides and any one of the iodoaminoacids formed seems to be possible. Consequently, an effect of the exchange mechanism on PEi^^I seems to be impossible.
Summary
Zusammenfassung
ResumeCrystalline sodium iodates with i^'I and and Na^^'IOa-Na'^'IOj mixtures have been irradiated with neutrons in order to study the beha viour of the acti vated and '"I in the crystal lattice, after the nuclear reaction, and the rate of thermal annealing of the different radioacti ve fractions. A remarkable isotope effect has been observed; and the experiments on crystalline mixtures have shown that both activated iodine isotopes maintain their own behaviour. Studies on the influence of the physical conditions of the pile Irradiation and the samples were also carried out.Kristalline Natriumjodate mit ^-'J und '^'J und Na i^^JOs-Na^'^JO^ Gemische wurden mit Neutronen bestrahlt, um das Verhalten des aktivierten i''®J und ''"J nach der Kernreaktion im Kristallgitter sowie die Geschwindigkeit des thermischen Tempems der verschiedenen radioaktiven Fraktionen zu untersuchen. Ein bemerkenswerter Isotopieeffekt wurde beobachtet; und die Experimente an kristallinen Gemischen haben gezeigt, daß beide aktivierte Jodisoto...
