It was found, however, that iodine deficiency: a) delayed significantly the conception of the second generation females (C 2) (Table 3) but was quite ineffective in the first generation females (Bx, Cx) (Tables 2 & 4), b) did not sig- nificantly affect the number ofpups dropped or their birth weight, c) increased pup mortality during suckling period, d) tended to decrease the weight of the female sex organs ofadult rats (Table 5), e) increased the absolute thyroid weight more rapidly in young growing rats than in old fullgrown rats (Tables 3, 4 & 5),and more rapidly in growing males than females, 144 f) decreased significantly and progressively the PBI level in the serum ofadult females which had pregnancies and lactations, g) obviously adversely affected the milk secretion of Ct rats during their second lactation on iodine deficient diet (Experiment II) as judged from the growth rate of theirpups during o—ls0—15 days after birth, h) did not adversely affect the growth rate of the suckling offspring of the dams during their first lactation on iodine deficient diet (Tables 3 & 4), i) did not significantly affect the rate of gain of the young rats from weaning up to 60-days of age.	cache/afs-71764.pdf	txt/afs-71764.txt
