Relations between various measures of iodine intake and thyroid volume, thyroid nodularity, and serum thyroglobulin.
BACKGROUND Iodine intake can be measured in various ways, and each method may have advantages and disadvantages. OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the potential associations of various measures of iodine intake with thyroid volume, prevalence of thyroid nodules, and serum thyroglobulin. We also sought to identify, if possible, groups at risk of thyroid disease because of their food choices. ...

متن کاملSerum thyroglobulin and thyroid cancer.
Thyroglobulin is a large glycosylated protein (MW 660000 daltons) which is synthesised and secreted by the thyroid cell into the follicular lumen. In the thyroglobulin molecule the iodotyrosines undergo oxidative coupling to form the iodothyronines thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Production of thyroid hormones results from micropinocytosis of iodinated thyroglobulin from the colloid i...
متن کاملRelationship between serum zinc levels, thyroid hormones and thyroid volume following successful iodine supplementation.
OBJECTIVE Zinc is essential for many biochemical processes and also for cell proliferation. Thyroid hormones influence zinc metabolism by affecting zinc absorption and excretion. Additionally, zinc deficiency affects thyroid function. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a possible association of zinc levels with thyroid volume, thyroid hormones and thyroid autoantibody levels in health...
متن کاملNon-thyroglobulin Iodine of the Thyroid Gland
Thyroxine in the thyroid gland is considered to be firmly built into the protein molecule, thyroglobulin (1). Only after the gland is hydrolyzed with fairly strong alkali does its thyroxine become readily extractable with butyl alcohol. The iodine which circulates in plasma, on the other hand, can be almost completely extracted with butyl alcohol without previous hydrolysis (2). Considerable ev...
