Summary
1. The 131I-iodide space (131IS) was repeatedly estimated in 10 rabbits kept on a special drinking water containing excess iodide and chloride. The mean 131IS was the 6.65 fold (±0.71) of the plasma volume or 253.7 ml plasma/kg of body weight.
2. Repeated estimations of 131IS in rabbits on drinking water containing only excess iodide have shown a mean 131IS equivalent to 7.64 fold plasma volume (±0.81) or 302.9 ml plasma/kg b.w.
3. The 131IS of rabbits on plain water averaged a plasma volume factor 7.84 (±1.02) or 280.0 ml plasma/kg body weight.
4. The influence of thyroidectomy, operative trauma, narcosis and repeated haemorrhage on the 131IS is investigated and presented.
5. A detailed picture is given of the composition of 131IS in normal, thyreoidectomised and KClO4-treated rabbits.
6. The activities of 131I in the extravascular water of the rabbit's organs are shown.
