    Abstract:
    A considerable decrease in the amount of sympathetic nervous cells in neonatal rats injected guanethidine resulted in the depression of thyroid gland functional activity in 1-month-old animals, there was an apparent parallel increase in the proliferative activity of the gland. A 2/3 thyroidectomy led to the functional tension of the remaining part of the organ. A comparison of compensatory-reparative processes after thyroidectomy has shown similarity of reparative changes in experimental and control rats, however, the degree of repair potential was much higher in the sympathectomized thyroid gland.
