چکیده

Thiocyanate, a ubiquitous anion in the body, inhibits the concentration of iodide by the thyroid and the iodination of tyrosine in this tissue (1, 2). This pseudohalide is oxidized by thyroid tissue in viva (3-6). Sulfate is the major sulfur product. This report will describe a cytoplasmic particulate system derived from mammalian thyroid tissue that oxidizes thiocyanate ion in vitro to products similar to those described in viva. Furthermore, the system has been found to contain a hemoprotein.’

Kinetic-Spectrophotometric Determination of Thiocyanate Based on Its Inhibitory Effect on the Oxidation of Pyrogallol Red by Bromate

A kinetic spectrophotometric method for rapid measurement of thiocyanate in serum, urine and sewage water with no need for removed of interfering substances in described. The method is based on the inhibitory effect of thiocyanate on the oxidation of pyrogallol red by bromated and nitrite which is monitored at 467 nm. The variables affecting the rate of the reaction were investigated and th...

Comparison of Absorbed Fraction of Gamma and Beta Rays of I-124 and I-131radio-Isotopes in Thyroid Gland with Monte Carlo Simulation

I131 is a famous radio-iodine isotope in use for diagnosis and treatment of hyper functioning and cancerous thyroid gland. It is a nuclear reactor product; however nuclear reactor may be unavailable in some areas. Replacement by I-124 may be possible, another iodine isotope producible by cyclotron; a system more available than reactor. Here absorbed fraction of Gamma and Beta rays of...

The Protective Effect of Cell Wall and Cytoplasmic Fraction of Selenium Enriched Yeast on 1, 2-Dimethylhydrazine-induced Damage in Liver

Background: 1, 2-Dimethylhydrazine (DMH) enhances lipid peroxidation rate by tumor mitochondria than normal tissue counterpart and causes many disorders in antioxidant system in liver. It also increases the level of enzymes that metabolize toxin in liver and colon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the alteration of liver and its enzymes after DMH injection and evaluate protective effect of...

The metabolism of thiocyanate in the rat and its inhibition by propylthiouracil.

In a previous report (1) we have shown that a small fraction of the sulfur of injected thiocyanate is converted to sulfate by the rat. The conversion of thiocyanate to sulfate had been predicted to occur as the result of the physiological activity of thiocyanate ion which is known to be a goitrogen and a hypotensive agent. Our results could not be taken as unequivocal evidence for the metabolis...
