Abstract
IN earlier work1–4, a high concentration of radioactive organic iodine has been found in the thyroid lymph of the monkey, cat and rabbit previously given iodine-131 and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Under similar conditions, most of the radioactivity appearing in the thyroid lymph of the rabbit and of the cat is in the form of iodoprotein5. If the same were true of primates, such a fact could be of great importance in relation to theories of thyroid disease. In this work we have, therefore, examined the forms in which iodine-131 appears in the thyroid lymph of a primate after TSH stimulation.
