Abstract
ABSTRACT
The effect of prolonged exposure to severe nervous traumatization on the activity of the thyroid gland has been studied. Good agreement between the results was obtained by using radioactive iodine 131I, measuring the activity over the thyroid gland and the radioautographs, as well as doing the histological examinations and determinations of the height of the epithelial cells lining the acini. According to these results intense nervous stimulations have a characteristic effect on the thyroid function. The initial phase of hyperfunction, lasting under our experimental conditions for 10 days, is followed by a state characterized by hypofunction. The effect is reversible. This effect of severe nervous traumatization on the thyroid function is markedly inhibited by chlorpromazine.
