چکیده
to its glycoside (arachidoside) content. On the basis of in creased excretion of phenols in the group of rats fed arachi doside, and of an increased iodine content in the phenolic fraction of the urine as compared with the control, it was sug gested that this glycoside acted as an antithyroid compound by forming molecular compounds with elemental iodine in the gland. Confirmatory evidence for this hypothesis, obtained in studies using radioactive iodine (I131) is presented in this

Thiourea and Related Compounds in the Treatment of Hyperthyroidism *
The use of thyroid-depressant agents in the control of hyperthyroidism has raised questions concerning their relationship to other goitrogens and their mode of action. Other problems have been encountered as well, particularly with respect to toxic reactions, the effect of preliminary iodine administraton, and the control of the hypothyroid state which may result. The information available on t...
متن کاملIncreased sensitivity of the thyroid in iodine-depleted rats to the goitrogenic effects of thyrotropin.
The present studies demonstrate that iodine depletion increases the sensitivity of the thyroid to the goitrogenic effects of thyrotropin. Iodine depletion was induced by feeding rats a low iodine diet containing propylthiouracil for 10-14 days before hypophysectomy. Accumulation of iodine in the thyroid after hypophysectomy was prevented by continuing the antithyroid drugs in the diet. Doses of...
متن کاملStudies on Goitrogenic/ Antithyroidal Potentiality of Thiocyanate, Catechin and After Concomitant Exposure of Thiocyanate-Catechin
In adequate iodine intake including and a number of environmental agents can affect thyroid gland functions in man and animals. Thiocyanate and catechin that arise for the consumption of cyanogenic and flavonoids containing foods respectively, affect thyroid hormone synthesis but the data comparing the goitrogenic/ antithyroid potentiality of thiocyanate and catechin when act individually or sy...
متن کاملParity as a thyroid size-determining factor in areas with moderate iodine deficiency.
Among the factors that may influence thyroid size, pregnancy and its goitrogenic effect have been widely investigated, but thyroid volume and pregnancy have never been compared retrospectively, and there are no data on the possible relationship between thyroid size and parity. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effects of pregnancy on thyroid volume in a moderate iodine deficiency are...
متن کاملGrowth Inhibition of Aspergillus flavus Isolated from Pistachio by Secondary Metabolites
Pistachio nut is a strategic product throughout the world, especially in Iran. There are some problems that reduce production and export of pistachios, for example, postharvest fungi, especially Aspergillus spp., that lead to production of mycotoxins. Nowadays the use of chemical and synthetic antifungals is discouraged and reduced because of health risks to mankind and nature. In present study...
