THYROID AND IODIDE

Flavonoids, Thyroid Iodide Uptake and Thyroid Cancer—A Review

Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the endocrine system and the incidence has been increasing in recent years. In a great part of the differentiated carcinomas, thyrocytes are capable of uptaking iodide. In these cases, the main therapeutic approach includes thyroidectomy followed by ablative therapy with radioiodine. However, in part of the patients, the capacity to concentra...

idase (TPO) and incorporation into tyrosyl residues along the thyroglobulin (Tg) backbone. The thyroid hormones T3 and T4 are synthesized by coupling of two iodotyrosine residues and stored in the colloid. All of these steps are stimulated by pituitary-derived thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which interacts with the TSH receptor at the basolateral membrane of thyroidal cells, through the cAM...

Placental Transport of Thyroid Hormone and Iodide

The sodium iodide symporter and thyroid disease.

The movement of a variety of species from the iodine-rich environment of the sea to the relatively iodine-deficient land has necessitated the development of mechanisms which will trap more efficiently inorganic iodide (I – ) necessary for the formation of thyroid hormones (Venturi et al. , 2000). In man as in other mammals iodide uptake by the thyroid is mediated via a TSHdependent transmembran...

Minireview: The sodium-iodide symporter NIS and pendrin in iodide homeostasis of the thyroid.

Thyroid hormones are essential for normal development and metabolism. Thyroid hormone biosynthesis requires iodide uptake into the thyrocytes and efflux into the follicular lumen, where it is organified on selected tyrosyls of thyroglobulin. Uptake of iodide into the thyrocytes is mediated by an intrinsic membrane glycoprotein, the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS), which actively cotransports two ...
