Reserpine at doses of 5, 10 or 50 μg/100 g/day inhibits thyroid activity in rats. Thyroidal I131 output is decreased significantly and thyroid secretion rate is reduced approximately 84–90% below control values. It is suggested reserpine alters thyroid function through inhibition of thyrotropin secretion.
