Abstract
IN earlier experiments1 it was demonstrated that the disturbance in thyroid secretion caused by methylthiouracil in rats is connected with a decrease in the content of ribose nucleic acid and desoxyribose nucleic acid in the glandular cells. These findings were discussed from the point of view of the association between hormonal secretion and the metabolism of nucleotides, which is suggested by several cytological signs.
