| Popis: | WE have been investigating the metabolism of thyroid compounds in the human by radioisotopic methods (1, 2, 3, 4). At the outset of our studies, the nature of circulating thyroid hormone was still uncertain and consequently we employed several different calorigenic compounds. These compounds were labeled with I131, and physiologic doses were administered orally to myxedematous patients both while they were hypothyroid prior to treatment and while they were euthyroid after adequate replacement therapy with unlabeled calorigen. Serial measurement of urinary and fecal elimination of I131, serial determinations of organic and of inorganic I131 in the blood, and serial in vivo measurements over several areas of the body were made. The nature of the radioiodine compounds in the urine was also studied. Three compounds—radioiodocasein, radiothyroglobulin and radiothyroxine—have been studied in this manner, and in each instance the behavior of labeled sodium iodide, equal in iodine content to the respective calori... |
