. The effects of inanition and malnutrition upon growth and structure. Starvation; Nutrition. 44© INANITION AND MALNUTRITION The effects of inanition upon the structure of the thyroid gland in young albino rats are shown by a comparison of Fig. 113 (normal at 22 days) with Fig. 114 (condition in a rat underfed from 3 to 10 weeks of age).. Fig. 113.—A small portion of a section from the thyroid gland in a normal albino rat (S. ) 22 days old. Zenker fixation; hematoxylin-eosin stain. X750.

The normal histological structure is shown, with several follicles containing colloid. Follicular epithelium cuboidal; cytoplasm abundant and granular, with a few scattered vacuoles. The fibrous stroma is scanty, with a rich blood-vascular plexus. (Jackson '16.) McCarrison ('21) observed a marked decrease in the weight of the thyroid gland in starved pigeons, though relatively less than that in the whole body (Fig. 35). Trowbridge, Moulton and Haigh ('18) and Moulton, Trowbridge and Haigh ('22a) concluded that in steers the thyroid ("neck sweetbread") is somewhat reduced in weight in the poorly nourished. Okuneff ('22) in the thyroid gland of the rabbit found the fatty cell granules small and scarce, but (confirming Traina '04) unchanged during inanition with loss of 30-40 per cent in body Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Jackson, Clarence Martin, b. 1875.
