2. Plummer effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plummer_effect

   Unlike the Wolff–Chaikoff effect, the Plummer effect does not prevent the thyroid from taking up radioactive iodine, e.g. in the case of nuclear emergencies.Therefore, "plummering" with high-dose iodine is only effective in a short time window after the release of radionuclides. [9]

3. Wolff–Chaikoff effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff–Chaikoff_effect

   Only the Wolff–Chaikoff effect is helpful to prevent the thyroid from uptaking radioactive iodine in the case of nuclear emergencies. Therefore, "plummering" with high-dose iodine is only effective in a short time window after the release of radionuclides. [15] Wrong timing of iodine use may even increase the risk by triggering the Plummer ...

4. Jod-Basedow phenomenon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jod-Basedow_phenomenon

   In some ways the Jod-Basedow phenomenon is the opposite of two physiological compensation mechanisms, the Plummer effect and the Wolff–Chaikoff effect, which in normal persons and in persons with thyroid disease, suppress the thyroid hormone after ingestion of large quantities of iodine or iodide. However, unlike the Plummer and Wolff ...

5. Iodine (medical use) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_(medical_use)

   Iodine-131 (usually as iodide) is a component of nuclear fallout, and is particularly dangerous owing to the thyroid gland's propensity to concentrate ingested iodine and retain it for periods longer than this isotope's radiological half-life of eight days. For this reason, people at risk of exposure to environmental radioactive iodine (iodine ...

6. Sodium/iodide cotransporter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium/iodide_cotransporter

   The sodium/iodide cotransporter, also known as the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), [5] is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC5A5 gene. [6] [7] [8] It is a transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 87 kDa and 13 transmembrane domains, which transports two sodium cations (Na +) for each iodide anion (I −) into the cell.
