RESUMEN
The uptake of 131-I in chicken ova was studied for 3 hours after a single intramuscular dose. There was uptake as early as 10 minutes and it continued throughout the 3 hours in spite of a rapid decrease in blood activity. The fast growing ova, weightin 0.5 to 2.0 grams, were the most efficient in the uptake of 131-I per unit weight. Autoradiograms of the topographic distribution of 131-I showed a peripheral deposition. When multiple doses were given, concentric rings in the growing ovocytes were seen.

The concentrations of 36Cl-labeled potassium perchlorate (K36CiO4) and previously reported iodide (131I) in the ova, thyroid gland, and blood of the laying hen were compared in this investigation. Radioperchlorate concentration and deposition properties showed a remarkable resemblance to those of iodide (131I). The topographic distribution of radioperchlorate in ova followed a peripheral and concentric ring deposition identical to that observed in the 131I investigation. The studies of the distribution of radioperchlorate showed that about 10.3, 2.0, and 1.4% of a single intramuscular injection of K36CiO4 was retained in the body at 3, 24, and 48 hours, respectively. The largest total concentration in the 3-hour group was found in the blood (2.9%), followed by muscles (2.4%), internal organs (1.1%), and the 10 largest ova (1.0%). The 24 and 48-hour hens' ova showed the largest concentrations with values of 1.5 and 1.2% of the dose, respectively. This represented 76.9 and 81.3% of the total activity retained in the body at these times. The excreta in the 3 and 24-hour experiments accounted for most of the radioperchlorate dose.
