Abstract
Thyroid hyperplasia was induced in C3H mice by a low iodine diet feeding supplemented with propylthiouracil. The morphological modifications associated to the development of hyperplasia were analyzed at light microscopical level and the cellular proliferation was studied by autoradiography after a pulse labelling with [3H]thymidine. The initial modification during the course of hyperplasia is the development of the vascularization. It includes the dilatation of the capillaries, which occurs before any extended modification of the follicular cells and any change of the thyroid weight, and the proliferation of endothelial cells which starts earlier than that of follicular cells.
