The Effect of Vitamin C Supplement on the Thyroid Activity of Chickens using 125I

Abstract: Summary Deficiency of vitamin C in the diet of chickens depressed the activity of the thyroid gland, as detected by radioiodine uptake. The activity of the thyroid of chickens depends not only on its content of vitamin C., but also on the dose of the vitamin C supplement fed to the chickens. A dose of 100 mg. per kilogram diet restored the thyroid function of chickens while a dose of 50 mg did not. Data are shown in tables and figures of thyroid activity, serum uptake and percentage of tyrosine and thyronine… Show more

“…Similarly, May and McNaughton () also reported that supplemental AA (1,000 mg/kg diet) did not affect thyroid hormones secretion in broiler chickens. Conversely, the serum thyroid hormones levels were greater with supplemental AA in broiler chickens (Abdel‐Wahab, Abdo, Megahed, Attia, & Farahat, ; Sahin, Sahin, & Kucuk, ), guinea pigs (Degkwitz, ) and Japanese quails (Sahin, Kucuk, Sahin, & Sari, ). These results indicate that the influence of AA on thyroid activity remains uncertain, which may be related to animal species, animal health status, dietary composition and feeding environment.…”
