[Iodine concentration in fluid of the follicles and ovarian cysts of cows].

Biochemical investigations on the principle of the alkali-mineralizing method were carried out with fluid of 16 follicles and 18 ovarial cysts of cows and heifers (which were not treated with potassium iodide) in order to establish the quantitative values of the total iodine in micrgram% per 100 cm3 of fluid. It was found that total iodine in follicle fluid was 5.7 microgram%, and 3.1 microgram% in ovarial cysts. The parameters of the quantitative values of iodine of follicle fluid vary from 0.3 to 11.1 microgram%, and those of the ovarial cyst fluid--from 0.6 to 7.2 microgram%.
