    People who have Graves disease, toxic multinodular goiter, or various types of thyroid adenoma are also at risk of the Jod-Basedow effect when receiving iodine, because the thyroid will then not respond to the negative feedback from increased thyroid hormones. The source of iodine may be from the diet, administration of iodinated contrast for ...

    Congenital iodine deficiency has been almost eliminated in developed countries through iodine supplementation of food and by newborn screening using a blood test for thyroid function. [5] Treatment consists of lifelong administration of thyroxine (T4). Thyroxine must be dosed as tablets only, even to newborns, as the liquid oral suspensions and ...

  7. Iodothyronine deiodinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodothyronine_deiodinase

    Inactivation of thyroid hormones occurs by removal of an iodine atom on the inner ring, which converts thyroxine to the inactive reverse triiodothyronine (rT 3), or which converts the active triiodothyronine to diiodothyronine (T 2). The major part of thyroxine deiodination occurs within the cells. Deiodinase 2 activity can be regulated by ...

    There is also a special low iodine diet available that will control the symptoms providing no other food is fed; Hill's y/d formula, when given exclusively, decreases T4 production by limiting the amount of iodine needed for thyroid hormone production. It is the only available commercial diet that focuses on managing feline hyperthyroidism.
