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