Goitrogenic Effects of Thyrotropin
rats. Adding propylthiouracil or perchlorate to the diet during treatment with thyrotropin did not reduce or augment the goitrogenic response to thyrotropin in iodine-depleted rats. Increasing the level of circulating iodide also did not reduce the goitrogenic response to thyrotropin. The increased sensitivity of the iodine-depleted thyroid gland may provide an explanation for the development o...
متن کاملENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND POLYCYSTIC OVARIES
This study was designed to investigate the effect of environmental factors on the appearance of polycystic ovaries (PCO) during the first two decades of life. Ninety-four female-female twins who underwent a transabdominal ultrasound at the Royal Hospital for Women were sent a questionnaire asking about their birth details, feeding history as a baby, childhood illnesses and vaccination as w...
متن کاملStudies on goitrogenic agents in food. III. Goitrogenic action of some glycosides isolated from edible nuts.
to its glycoside (arachidoside) content. On the basis of in creased excretion of phenols in the group of rats fed arachi doside, and of an increased iodine content in the phenolic fraction of the urine as compared with the control, it was sug gested that this glycoside acted as an antithyroid compound by forming molecular compounds with elemental iodine in the gland. Confirmatory evidence for t...
متن کاملEvaluation of possible goitrogenic and anti-thyroidal effect of nitrate, a potential environmental pollutant.
Nitrate is a wide spread contaminant of ground and surface water. The source of nitrate in the ground water may be from run off or seepage from fertilized soil, municipal or industrial waste water, land fills, septic system, urban drainage or decaying plants. Human and animal systems are affected severely on nitrate exposure. The study was to investigate the effect of dietary nitrate exposure o...
متن کاملGoitrogenic and estrogenic activity of soy isoflavones.
Soy is known to produce estrogenic isoflavones. Here, we briefly review the evidence for binding of isoflavones to the estrogen receptor, in vivo estrogenicity and developmental toxicity, and estrogen developmental carcinogenesis in rats. Genistein, the major soy isoflavone, also has a frank estrogenic effect in women. We then focus on evidence from animal and human studies suggesting a link be...
