Abstract
The time course of iodine excretion in adult male rats substantially d iffers from bromine excretion. Bromine is excreted at a single rate, w hereas iodine evinces two excretion rates. Even a strong increase in b romide intake in experimental animals failed to affect the rate of iod ine excretion but it lowered the fraction of iodine accumulated in the thyroid gland by 20% probably by affecting the transport of iodide in to the thyroid gland.
