Effect of Mucopolysaccharides and Colloid on the Function of the Thyroid

IN previous experiments we have shown that the serum mucopolysaccharide (hexosamine) content of hyperthyroid patients was considerably less than the normal level. On the other hand, the mucopolysaccharide (hexosamine) content of the blood of hypothyroidic patients was found to be higher than normal and considerably higher than the mucopolysaccharide-level of hyperthyroid patients1.
