The labelling of proteins by the iodine monochloride method was studied by using a mathematical model. The equations used were primarily derived from the mass law equation of the isotopic exchange reaction between [(125)I]iodide and iodine monochloride. For convenient application, all equations were programmed into a computing desk-top calculator. To support the validity of the theoretical mode...

Iodine loss is common in the soil of hilly regions due to higher precipitation rates and steeper slopes. deficiency reduces iodine’s bioavailability fruits vegetables consequently may contribute health complications. However, iodine retention soils after addition selected organic inorganic amendments has not been studied. Therefore, a study was carried out investigate during surface runoff. For...

In this current issue of the European Journal of Endocrinology, Reinhardt and his colleagues report that the administration of 250 mg potassium iodide daily for an average of 4 months (range 2–13 months) in mildly iodine-deficient Germany induced subclinical hypothyroidism in some patients (1). As mentioned in that report, when Dr Reinhardt was a postdoctoral fellow in this laboratory in the 19...

When I(131)-albumin is given intravenously to rabbits, the radioactive breakdown products that are released into the plasma and urine can be extracted into acetone. Paper chromatography and paper electrophoresis show that about 80 per cent of these are I(131)-iodide and the remainder are organic I(131)-iodine compounds. When I(131)-iodide is given to rabbits taking iodide in their drinking wate...

Graves thyrotoxicosis rarely presents with painless jaundice resulting from hyperthyroidism-associated hepatotoxicity, without preexisting liver disease. Management in patients with this presentation is challenging, given that the thionamides, methimazole and propylthiouracil, have both been associated with drug-induced liver injury. Radioactive iodine ablation and thyroidectomy are well-establ...

Variamine blue dye as chromogenic reagent was used for Portland cement samples in determination of soluble hexavalent chromium. This method was based on the reaction of Cr(VI) with potassium iodide in acidic medium to liberate iodine, which oxidized variamine blue to form a violet colored species having an absorption maximum 556 nm. The extraction of soluble Cr(VI) for quantification in cement ...

A simple and highly sensitive method is proposed for determination of trace amount of cerium. New method involves bleaching of greenish colour dye-malachite green, by the action of iodine, which is released by reaction between potassium iodide and cerium (IV) in acidic medium. Beer’s law is obeyed over concentration range of 0.6 to 4.6 μg cerium (IV) in final volume of 25 ml (0.024-0.184 ppm). ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE The National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), Hyderabad has developed double fortified salt (DFS) containing both iodine and iron to control the twin problems of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). When the iodine content of DFS was estimated by the conventional iodometric titration using sulphuric acid (H(2)SO(4)), problems such as wide vari...
