Activation of sodium transport mediates regulation of thyroid follicle volume in response to hypotonic media

The possible role of the thyroid epithelium in the regulation of thyroid follicle size is examined. It is concluded that cultured follicles respond to hypotonically induced stretch by activating outwardly directed sodium ion transport.
