Abstract
We hypothesize that iodine allergy is an immune response to iodinated self proteins produced in vivo from various iodine-containing chemicals. Since an antigenic determinant of experimental iodine allergy is diiodotyrosine (DIT), we designed low molecular weight DIT derivatives having provocative an...

Abstract
I to cells constitutively expressing either NIS, or TPO or NIS/TPO, next to iodide accumulation due to NIS activity, organification was exclusively observed in TPO expressing/co-expressing cells. The use of specific inhibitors for TPO and NIS showed that organification is strictly dependent of TPO a...

Abstract
The thyroid gland is the only source of thyroid hormone production. Thyroid hormone is essential for growth and development, and is of special importance for the development of the central nervous system. It was for that reason that neonatal screening on congenital hypothyroidism was introduced and...

Abstract
The total (beta and gamma) doses to testes were 30, 33 and 43 microGy/MBq in the three subjects. CONCLUSION: These values are close to those derived from the ICRP tables (26-37 microGy/MBq 131I) for euthyroid subjects. The present data indicate that significant irradiation is delivered to the testes...

Abstract
A method has been developed to determine plasma volume with dextran-70 without the use of a fluorescent label. The results obtained are compared to those found using the 125I-labeled albumin method, which is taken as the gold standard. The CV of the method is about 5%, compared to 3% with the gold s...

Abstract
At moderate iodination levels (20 iodine atoms/mol) human thyroglobulin (hTg) produces after reduction a hormone-rich peptide of 26 kDa which contains the preferential hormonogenic 'acceptor' tyrosine (Tyr 5) of the protein. The site of cleavage of the hTg chain was demonstrated by analysis of the 2...

Abstract
Previous work from our laboratory has shown that 14-iodo-15-hydroxy-5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid (I-HO-A) is a potent inhibitor of iodine organification in calf thyroid slices. The present studies were performed in order to clarify the mechanism of this action. Incubation of thyroid slices with 10(-4)...
