Breastmilk iodine concentrations following acute dietary iodine intake.
BACKGROUND Breastmilk iodine levels may vary temporally in response to recent changes in dietary iodine intake. We assessed the effect of and time to peak breastmilk iodine levels after potassium iodine ingestion, which has never been studied and is important toward interpretation of studies of breastmilk iodine measurements. METHODS Sixteen healthy lactating Boston-area women with no known t...
متن کاملPatterns of iodine intake and urinary iodine concentrations during pregnancy and blood thyroid-stimulating hormone concentrations in the newborn progeny.
BACKGROUND Appropriate maternal intake of iodine during pregnancy is essential for maternal thyroxine production and thyroid status of the fetus. It should be possible to enhance iodine intake during pregnancy by using iodine fortified salt or taking iodine supplements. In the present report we determined the status of iodine nutrition in pregnant women who were stratified on the basis of their...
متن کاملHost and environmental determinants of polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons in serum of adolescents.
This study investigated host factors and environmental factors as potential determinants of polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons (PCAHs) in serum of adolescents. We recruited 200 participants (80 boys and 120 girls), with a mean age of 17.4 years (SD, 0.8), in Belgium from a rural control area (Peer) and from two polluted suburbs of Antwerp where a nonferrous smelter (Hoboken) and waste incine...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental determinants of host use in the trematode Maritrema novaezealandensis (Microphallidae).
Factors constraining host specificity are poorly understood. Intraspecific variation in host preferences in generalist parasites may reveal which factors affect patterns of host use, and thus the evolution of specialization. Here, laboratory experiments examined genetic variation in host preferences and the effect of a refugium against infection on host use. Firstly, 6 cercarial clones of the t...
متن کاملEnvironmental and host-related determinants of tuberculosis in Metema district, north-west Ethiopia
BACKGROUND Each year, one third of the world's population is estimated to be infected with tuberculosis (TB). Globally in 2011, there were an estimated 8.7 million TB cases that resulted in 1.4 million deaths. In Ethiopia, TB is the leading cause of morbidity and the third most common cause of hospital admission. The aim of this study is to assess environmental and host-related determinants of ...
