Abstract

Abstract Virgin female Buffalo strain (BUF) rats that were treated with methylcholanthrene (MC) had a higher incidence of lymphocytic thyroiditis than untreated BUF rats. The degree of infiltration was also greater in MC-treated rats. The incidence of thyroiditis in retired breeder female BUF rats approached that found in MC-treated rats. The susceptibility to the effect of MC was not expressed in most F1 hybrids of BUF and Lewis (LEW), a strain of rat that does not develop thyroiditis after treatment with MC.
