Evaluation of activated charcoal on the adsorption of thyroxine in experimantal rabbits

ABSTRACT

A research was carried out on 75 rabbits weighted from 2-2.5 kg. The two general types of charcaol used in the experiment were powdered and suspension activated charcoal. Both of powdered and suspension activated charcoal had been sufficient adsorption of thyroxine ingested. Activated charcoal administered 1g/kg body weight 5 minutes after dosing with thyroxine 10mcg/kg had possibily of adsorption of thyroxine ingested better than that administered 0.6g/kg. There was no significant difference in possibility of adsorption of thyroxine ingested between powdered and suspension actived charcoal
