| Description | A significant impact of high bromide levels in the organism of the mother on iodine transfer to the sucklings was established in experiments with female Wistar rats. The observed decrease in iodine transfer to the young through mother's milk and/or an increase in the bromide concentration in the milk, caused a decrease in body weight of the pups. Enhanced bromide levels also adversely affected the thyroid gland of the young. |
