Term
Why is iodine in foods extremely variable
Definition
it frelects regionally variable soil [] and the amount of fertilizer
Term
Does river or sea fish have more iodide
Definition
sea water fish
Term
what are good protein sources of iodid
Definition
milk and yogurt, egg, meats, and beans
Term
how much iodid is obtained from 1/4 t iodized salt
Definition
68 micro g
Term
whigh gland contains majority of iodide
Definition
thyroid gland
Term
main function of iodide
Definition
synthesis of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronin(T3)
Term
three transport proteins that bind and transport thyroxine and 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine
Definition
1) thyroxine-binding globulin, found in plasma, has smallest capacity but greatest affinnit
2)albumin
3)thransthyretin
Term
thyroid effects on metabolism
Definition
stimulate BMR, O2 consumption, heat production, normal nervous system development and linear growth
Term
waht affet do goitrogens have on thyroid hormone and/or iodine?
Definition
substances that interfere with iodid metabolism in any way that inhibits thyroid hormonogenesis; effect is to 2* augment TSH release = thyroid enlargement; may affect iodide uptake by gland, organification of iodid, or hormone release from thyroid cells
Term
three foods that contain goitrin
Definition
cabbage, kale, cauliflower
Term
major route of iodide excretion
Definition
kidneys, b/e no mechanism to conserve it
Term
RDA for iodide
Definition
150 micro g/day, higher for pregnant and lactating
Term
how much iodide to prevent goiter
Definition
50-75 micro g/day or 1 micro g/kg body wt
Term
relationship b/w thyrotropin releasing hormone, TSH, and thyroid hormone
Definition
thyrotropin releasing hormone release from hypothalamus acts on pituitart to stimulate TSH secretion, and TSH increases activity of thyroid gland to generate T4
Term
what is characteristic feature of goiter? which hormone responsible?
Definition
enlargement of thyrpid gland, caused by overstimulatione of TSH
Term
what are symptoms of neurological cretinism, why would you find this and why?
Definition
infants, b/e mom doesn't have enough iodide, symptoms: mental deficiency, hearing loss or deaf mutism, moter disorders such as spasticity, and muscular rigidity
Term
how can we treat endemic goiter
Definition
addition of iodine to table salt and administration of iodized oil or potassium iodide
Term
assessment of iodide status
Definition
1)urinary excretion - based on ability of iodide to reduce cerric ion, yellow, to cerrous, which is colorlesss
2)serum [TSH]the quicker the uptake of radioactive iodide the greater the likelhood of deficiency
