| Description | High bromide intake in the lactating rat dams caused a decrease in the iodide accumulation in the mammary glands, and also an increase in the iodide elimination through the kidneys. A significant impact of high bromide levels in the organism of the mother on iodine transfer to the sucklings was also established. The observed decrease in iodine transfer to the young through mother's milk caused a decrease in the body weight of the pups and affected adversely their thyroid glands. |
