Effect of low and high ambient temperatures on metabolism of radioiodine by the lactating goat. 1979

F W Lengemann

Two lactating goats given an oral dose of iodine-125 excreted 16.8, 52.5, and 9.8% of the dose into the milk, urine, and feces when the ambient temperature was 33 C. The thyroids contained about .7% of the oral dose. At 5 C only 2.6% of the radioiodine was in the milk, but 71.2% was in the urine, 18.1% in the feces, and about 10% in the thyroid. The reduced competition by the thyroid plus enhanced transfer of radioiodine from blood to milk at 33 C was responsible for the large transfer of radioiodine into milk at 33 C.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007455 Iodine A nonmetallic element of the halogen group that is represented by the atomic symbol I, atomic number 53, and atomic weight of 126.90.

D007774 Lactation The processes of milk secretion by the maternal MAMMARY GLANDS after PARTURITION. The proliferation of the mammary glandular tissue, milk synthesis, and milk expulsion or let down are regulated by the interactions of several hormones including ESTRADIOL; PROGESTERONE; PROLACTIN; and OXYTOCIN.
