The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, growth, and development through the synthesis of thyroid hormones—thyroxine (T₄) and triiodothyronine (T₃). Iodine is an essential micronutrient required for the synthesis of these hormones. Inadequate dietary intake of iodine results in insufficient thyroid hormone production, leading to

Immunological features of endemic goiter

Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology, 1986
