4. Effect of a single injection of thyrotropin (0.001 USP units/g body
on the thyroid organic ,and inorganic 9 of PZutichthys stellatur and on the
these fractions. Four to seven flounder were sampled at each time. The upper
three curves represent the variations in inorganic iodide (II), protein bound iodine
(PBI), and butanol extractable iodine (BEI), respectively. As discussed in the text,
with the techniques used, PBI reflects the amounts of all classes of organically bound
iodine, whereas BE1 reflects the amounts of hormonal iodine. The lower three curves
represent the ratios of these three constituents to each other at different times after a
TSH injection. From Hickman (1962).
