  • * Extrapolated from 125I measurements.

  • Activity concentration (ac) in thyroid was calculated considering weight (w) of and activity (a) in throat specimen and a standard weight (sw) of thyroid of 3 mg for nude BALB/c nu/nu mice. Throat was assumed to contain samples of both muscle and thyroid. Calculation was done as follows: Thyroidac = (Throata − (Throatw − Thyroidsw) × Muscleac)/Thyroidsw.

  • Values are means ± SEM.
