Iodine deficiency disorders

2011
Abstract Iodine (atomic weight 126.9 g/mol) is an essential component of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones, and therefore iodine, are essential for mammalian life (1). The native iodine content of most foods and beverages is low, and the most commonly consumed foods provide 3–80 μg/serving (1).

Iodine Deficiency and the Brain

Nutritional Neuroscience, 1999
The effects of iodine deficiency on growth and development are known as the iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs). Most common is goitre at all ages, but most significant are the effects on brain development during pregnancy. The major effect of iodine deficiency is the clinical syndrome of endemic cretinism characterised in its fully developed form by ...
