BACKGROUND In spite of the salt iodization, iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) have not been sustainably eliminated in China. There are coastal areas with low iodized salt coverage rates (iodine nutrition is inadequate) and other areas with excessive amounts of iodine in the drinking water. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to clarify the association of iodine deficiencies resulting from a low covera...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to explore information available regarding iodine secretion in milk, both mothers and infants iodine nutrition during breastfeeding and to make recommendations for appropriate iodine supplementation during lactation. DESIGN MEDLINE was queried for studies between 1960 and 2007 that included lactation and breastfeeding with iodine and iodine deficiency. Stud...

BACKGROUND Dairy products account for approximately 60% of the iodine intake in the Norwegian population. The iodine concentration in cow's milk varies considerably, depending on feeding practices, season, and amount of iodine and rapeseed products in cow fodder. The variation in iodine in milk affects the risk of iodine deficiency or excess in the population. OBJECTIVE The first goal of this...

source of faecal iodine is endogenous thyroid hormone, a fraction of which is excreted into the bile (Myant, 1956). Further evidence for an endogenous origin of faecal iodine is obtained from balance studies in patients with abnormal thyroid function (Harrison et al., 1965a). Patients with thyrotoxicosis excrete significantly more iodine in the faeces than normal, ranging from 21 to 72 ,tg/ day...

The behavior of a sterically crowded neutral pincer {2,6-bis[(di-t-butylphosphino)methyl]-phenyl}palladium (PCPPd) halides, PCPPdX (X = Cl, Br or I), as XB acceptors with strong halogen bond (XB) donors, iodine (I(2)), 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (F4DIBz), and 1,4-diiodooctafluorobutane (F8DIBu) were studied in the solid state. The co-crystallization experiments afforded high-quality single cr...

INTRODUCTION Consumption of low iodine salt can cause different types of disorders associated with iodine deficiency. This study aims to determine iodine content in table salt consumed in Lubumbashi and iodine status of pregnant women who are the main target of iodine deficiency. METHODS aAdescriptive cross-sectional study was devoted to an iodometric iodine analysis of 739 salt samples colle...

Urinary iodine excretion is a good marker of the dietary intake of iodine and is the index for evaluating the degree of iodine deficiency, correction and toxicity. Previous studies on urinary iodine excretion measured in school children in Saki showed that iodine deficiency was still endemic. The current iodine status in the area has not been evaluated, thus this study. Random urinary iodine wa...

OBJECTIVE The potential effects of four interventions to improve iodine intakes of six New Zealand population groups are assessed. DESIGN A model was developed to estimate iodine intake when (i) bread is manufactured with or without iodized salt, (ii) recommended foods are consumed to augment iodine intake, (iii) iodine supplementation as recommended for pregnant women is taken and (iv) the l...

Dietary iodine requirements are increased in pregnancy due to increased thyroid hormone production, increased renal iodine losses, and fetal iodine requirements. Adverse effects of iodine deficiency in pregnancy include maternal and fetal goiter, cretinism, intellectual impairments, neonatal hypothyroidism, and increased pregnancy loss and infant. Dietary iodine requirements remain increased in...

INTRODUCTION Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones. In pregnancy, physiological changes occur that can lead to iodine deficiency and impairment of fetal neurological development. We aimed to assess the iodine intake in pregnant women in Eastern Denmark, compare iodine levels in Eastern and Western Denmark and to identify potentially vulnerable groups. METHODS This was a c...
