Histological Localization of Fluorescent Thyroid-stimulating Hormone in Rat Tissues

Abstract

SONENBERG et al.1 have studied the fate of preparations of thyroid stimulating hormone injected into animals by the use of hormone preparations labelled with sulphur-35, and subsequent determination of the distribution of the radioactive sulphur. After its introduction into the circulation of the experimental animal, thyroid stimulating hormone was distributed widely, significant concentrations of radioactivity being observed in the thyroids, gonads, liver, retrorbital tissues and possibly muscle2,3.
