| Description | Effects of a high bromide intake in lactating rat dams on their performance in the course of nursing period and on the prosperity of their young were studied. Very high intake of bromide in the mothers caused a marked decrease in the body weight increments in their pups. Moreover, excess bromide in the mothers significantly depressed the extent of iodine transfer from the dams through mother's milk to the sucklings. It was also proved that bromide similarly to iodide readily penetrated into the rat milk and via mother's milk was transferred in a large extent into the body of suckling young. |
