[11] Although iodine is found in many foods, it is not universally present in all soils in adequate amounts.

In areas with little iodine in the diet, typically remote inland areas where no marine foods are eaten, deficiency is common. It is common in mountainous regions where food is grown in iodine-poor soil.

Even most of those with athyreosis and undetectable T 4 levels at birth develop with normal intelligence, although as a population academic performance tends to be below that of siblings and mild learning problems ...
Administering TRH to patients with chronic illness, however, seems to normalize thyroid levels and improve catabolic function. [ 5 ] When NTIS is caused by the normal fasting response to illness, early parenteral nutrition has been shown to attenuate alterations in thyroid hormone (TSH, T3, T4, rT3) levels, whereas late parenteral nutrition ...
