Cards

Term
Iodine form
Definition
typically found in ionic form I-, dietary iodine bound to amino acid/free as IO3- or I-, in enterocyte all is I-
Term
Iodine food sources
Definition
water, seafood, meat and vegetable content varies with soil content, through food processing in bread production & dairy industry in cleaners for milking equipment
Term
Salt
Definition
recommended method of distribution of iodine, 50+ yrs in US, Canada, & Switzerland where iodine deficiency and goiter were once common
Term
Iodine absorption
Definition
rapidly absorbed, ~100% absorbed, takes place in stomach and small intestine, iodate (IO3-) used in supplementation b/c high bioavailability
Term
Iodine transport
Definition
rapidly take up by thyroid(uptake varies with iodine intake) or kidney

T4 & T3 associated with 3 transport proteins: thyroxine binding globulin, albumin, transthretin
Term
Iodine excretion
Definition
primarily excreted in urine(~80-90%), low fecal excretion, kidneys have no mechanism to conserve iodine
Term
Iodine storage
Definition
15-20 mg(adequate) to <20mcg(deficiency) total body, thyroid contains 3/4 total body iodine
Term
Iodine metabolism
Definition
blood iodide conc. cleared rapidly by thyroid from plasma, thyroid controls blood iodide conc.
Term
Iodine function
Definition
single function is synthesis of thyroxine and triiodothyronine
Term
Thyroid Hormone synthesis 1-3
Definition
1: thyroid cells trap iodide by Na/K ATPase pump & oxidize iodide to iodine
2: iodine binds to tyrosyl residues of thyroglobulin, forms Thg-MIT, hydrogen peroxide accepts electron
3: Thg-MIT iodenates to Thg-DIT, then 2 Thg-DIT condense to Thg-T4 or DIT and MIT condense to Thg-T3 or Thg-rT3
Term
Thyroid Hormone synthesis 4-5
Definition
4: Thg-MIT & Thg-DIT if not used for thyroid hormone synthesis are deiodenated to make Thg
5: iodothyroglbulins are endocyted into thyroid cells, lysomal proteases hydrolyze & release thyroid hormones
Term
Iodine conversion of forms
Definition
several tissues deiodenate T4 to T3 & rT3, Selenium required for 5'-deiodinase
Term
Iodine status assessment
Definition
urinary iodide, thyroxine(T4), thyroid stimulating hormone
Term
Thyroid Hormone function
Definition
regulates prenatal growth, & postnatal growth in stature and bone maturation

Deficiency: decreased BMR, macronutrient metabolism impaired, brain/muscle/skeletal developmental abnormalities, lung maturation abnormalities
Term
Iodine deficiency
Definition
very common b/c most soils around world are very low in I (particularly high mountains & frequent flooding areas)

Effects: prenatal mental retardation, delayed growth, slowness of movement, delayed reflexes, elevated blood lipids, cardiac insufficiency
Term
Goiter
Definition
compensatory response to iodine deficiency, decreases plasma iodide & hormone synthesis, increases TSH release which increases thyroid cell size and number (causes enlarged thyroid gland)
Term
Goiter symptoms
Definition
tracheal & esophageal pressure, may damage laryngeal nerves, respiratory difficulty, hoarseness
Term
Goiter treatment
Definition
iodine supplement, thyroidectomy
Term
Cretinism
Definition
most severe form of iodine deficiency, primary feature is severe mental retardation, 2 types: early & late pregnancy deficiency
Term
Early pregnancy cretinism
Definition
inner ear & brain affected, mental retardation, short stature, spasticity of legs, deaf mutism, goiter
Term
late pregnancy cretinism
Definition
short stature, mental retardation, hypothyroidism, (spasticity of legs, deaf mutism, & goiter ususally absent)
Term
Goitrogens
Definition
causes ~4% of goiter, present in foods, it blocks iodine uptake & utilization by thyroid, casava directly associated
Term
Deficiency caused by Selenium
Definition
Se in glutathione peroxidase, GP degrades peroxide and protects thyroid from oxidative environment needed for thyroid hormone synthesis, Se deficiency causes glutathione peroxidase & T4 deiodinase deficiency
Term
Iodine RDA & UL
Definition
RDA: 150mcg/d adults, 220mcg/d pregnant, 290 mcg/d lactating

UL: 1100mcg/d
