Abstract
In growing rats from 3 weeks to 3 months old, 0.1% potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) decreased the plasma protein-bound iodine level by 47% and the total DNA in the mammary gland by 11%, but had no effect on the total RNA. Administration of thiocyanate in the form of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% KSCN during pregnancy and 14 d of lactation lowered the protein-bound iodine level by 48-66%, the total DNA by 11-47% and the total RNA by 14-63%, depending on the KSCN dosage. The 14-d-old litters of rats receiving thiocyanate weighed 4-41% less than those in the control group.
