Dr. Walland -
In the human, the maximum uptake of I-131 in the salivary glands is
around 3%, as reported in MIRD Dose Estimate Report No. 5 (J Nucl Med
16:857-860, 1975). So the percentage in animals should be somewhat
similar, I would think. I am used to extrapolating animal data to humans,
but I have never been asked to extrapolate in the other direction!
