Different tissue responses for iodine and iodide occur in the mammary glands and the thyroid gland of rats. [7] The role of iodine in mammary tissue is related to fetal and neonatal development, but its role in the other tissues is not well known. [8]
[11] [12] In rats treated with estradiol, iodine deficiency has been shown to lead to changes similar to benign breast changes that are reversible by increased iodine in the diet. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] In a few studies, iodine supplementation had beneficial effects (such as reducing the presence of breast cyst , fibrous tissue plaques and breast pain ...
Iodine accounts for 65% of the molecular weight of T 4 and 59% of T 3. Fifteen to 20 mg of iodine is concentrated in thyroid tissue and hormones, but 70% of all iodine in the body is found in other tissues, including mammary glands, eyes, gastric mucosa, thymus, cerebrospinal fluid, choroid plexus, arteries, cervix, salivary glands.
Iodine uptake is a result of an active transport mechanism mediated by the NIS protein, which is found in the basolateral membrane of thyroid follicular cells. As a result of this active transport, iodide concentration inside follicular cells of thyroid tissue is 20 to 50 times higher than in the plasma. [12]
It's also thought that certain phytochemicals, called phthalides, found in celery may relax muscle tissue in artery walls, increase blood flow, and thereby help lower blood pressure.
Tincture of iodine: iodine in ethanol, or iodine and sodium iodide in a mixture of ethanol and water. Lugol's iodine: iodine and iodide in water alone, forming mostly triiodide. Unlike tincture of iodine, Lugol's iodine has a minimised amount of the free iodine (I 2) component. Iodine glycerin, a preparation used in dentistry.
Fibrocystic breast changes is a condition of the breasts where there may be pain, breast cysts, and breast masses. [1] The breasts may be described as "lumpy" or "doughy". [ 3 ] Symptoms may worsen during certain parts of the menstrual cycle due to hormonal stimulation. [ 1 ]
