Abstract:Summary
Studies were made of the effects of sexual maturity, stages of estrous cycle, and sex hormones on the uptake of I131‐labelled l‐thyroxine by certain tissues of mice.
It was found that:

2. The uptake of radiothyroxine by the skeletal muscle of mature male mice was greater than that of immature mice.
3. Administration of estradiol or testos… Show more
