The effects of the applied deiodinase blockers on the thyroid status of selenium adequate and selenium deficient juvenile rats were studied. The experiment was carried out on 128 male Wistar rats randomly allotted to 8 groups, 16 rats each. The following groups were formed: Se+PTU-IA- (control group), 2. Se+PTU+IA+, 3. Se+PTU+IA-, 4. Se+PTU-IA+, 5. Se-PTU-IA- , 6. Se-PTU+IA+, 7. Se-PTU+IA- i 8. Se-PTU-IA+. The first four groups were selenium adequate (Se+) and were fed a diet containing 0.334 mg/Se kg feed. Groups five, six, seven and eight were selenium deficient and fed 0.031 mgSe/ kg feed. As deiodinase blockers were used propylthiouracil (PTU+) in a dose of 150 mg/L potable water and iopanoic acid (IA+) in a dose of 6 mg/kg body mass ap...
