| Abstract: | The effect of simulated altitude produced by decompression chambers upon the thyroid function was studied in female rats. A significant decrease in blood TSH levels was found when the rats were maintained during 24 hours at a pressure of 0.4 atmosphere, but not at a pressure of 0.7 atmosphere. |
