Atrophy of Adrenal Gland Following Thiouracil and Vit. B 12 . ∗

Abstract

Conclusions

Vit. B₁₂ prevented the growth inhibiting action of thiouracil but failed to prevent adrenal atrophy. Atrophy of the adrenal cortex was due to a specific action of the goitrogen and not a reflection of generalized inhibition of body growth.
