Iodine Compounds and Fertilisation

Iodine-containing Compounds of Extrathyroidal Tissues.

Determination of organic iodine compounds in serum. II. Chromatographic studies of exogenous organic iodine compounds affecting the PBI and BEI.

R1_ values of organic iodine compounds which interfere with the determination of serum protein-bound iodine (P81) and butanol-extractable iodine (BEI) levels were obtained for the solvent system 2-butanol-4% NH4OH (3:1) utilizing descending paper chromatography. The feasibility of employing this system for identification of exogenous organic iodine in patients’ sera was investigated. In general...

Interaction of povidone-iodine compounds, phagocytic cells, and microorganisms.

The interaction between povidone-iodine, phagocytic cells, and microorganisms was studied. Three preparations of povidone-iodine were investigated: commercially available povidone-iodine solution Betadine, pure high-molecular-weight povidone-iodine as used in Betadine, and a low-molecular-weight povidone-iodine. Low concentrations of povidone-iodine (approximately 0.005%) have considerable acti...

IODINE STUDIES: I. The Avidity of the Thyroid Gland for Various Iodine Compounds in Vitro.

The literature on the relation of iodine to the thyroid gland is extensive, and a comprehensive review of it is not presented in this paper. Excellent reviews exist. The older literature has been reviewed by Horsley (1), the more recent by Wells (2), Marine (3) and Rost (4). Reference will be made only to those observations relevant to the particular problem under consideration. It is now gener...
