In the presence of an oxidant, sodium iodide is converted into hypoiodous acid which effects the rearrangement of tertiary propargylic alcohols to α-iodoenones in good yields.

The human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS) is an intrinsic transmembrane protein that mediates the active transport of iodide across the basolateral membrane of thyroid follicular cells. In addition to normally functioning thyroid tissue, various extrathyroidal tissues, including salivary gland, lacrimal gland, gastric mucosa, choroid plexus, and lactating mammary gland, have been demonstrated to...

A method for determining the concentration of iodide in beer using high-performance liquid chromatography/electrochemical detection was developed. Simple sample pretreatment of beer was performed using a monolithic silica disk-packed spin column, with a recovery rate of 84.9%. Separation of iodide ions from other endogenous compounds was carried out using a mobile phase of 10 mM sodium phosphat...

I . Iodine metabolism was studied using labelled sodium iodide in subjects with endemic goitre which is prevalent in the south-west part of Ceylon, where the iodine content of the drinking water was shown to be low. The study was confined mostly to children of school age. 2. The patients showed raised thyroidal uptake of lS1I and 48 h serum protein-bound radioactive iodine, lowered plasma inorg...
