Synonyms Used in print (Jacob Robbins et al., "The thyroid-stimulating...)At the present_time we do not know by what biochemical_mechanism TSH acts_on the thyroid , but for bio-assay of the hormone there are a number of properties by which its activity may be estimated , including release of iodine from the thyroid , increase in thyroid weight , increase in mean height of the follicular cells and increase in the thyroidal uptake of * * f . (J. W. C. Hagstrom et al., "Debilitating muscular...)The protein bound iodine was 6.6 � mg. % , and the radioactive iodine uptake over the thyroid_gland was 46 % in 24 hours , with a conversion ratio of 12 % . (Ross E. McKinney and Howard Edde, "Aerated...)The oxygen uptake rate in the mixed liquor averaged 0.8 mg / l / hr during the first four months of this study . The increase in oxygen uptake rates from 1.2 to 2.6 mg / l / hr which followed an increase in rotor speed was believed to be related to resuspension of solids which had settled at the lower rotor speeds . Routine determinations were made for dissolved oxygen in the mixed liquor and for oxygen uptake rates . |
