The important role of iodine

When iodine is deficient, the synthesis of thyroxine is blocked, leading to a series of biochemical disorders and Abnormal physiological functions. In moderate iodine deficiency, thyroid hormone synthesis is affected and the thyroid gland enlarges compensatoryly, causing endemic goiter.

Severe iodine deficiency can lead to stagnant growth and development, mental retardation, abnormal skin and hair structure, stunted mental development and even dementia, deafness, and cretinism (Klemen disease). Therefore, in iodine-deficient areas such as some mountainous areas, it is important to prevent and treat iodine deficiency in infants and young children. The content of iodine in food varies, mostly in seafood. Generally speaking, in coastal areas, because drinking water also contains a certain amount of iodine and seafood is often consumed, iodine deficiency will not occur. There is no iodine supply standard in my country. The American standard is: 40 micrograms/day for infants aged 1 to 6 months, 50 micrograms/day for 6 to 12 months, and 70 micrograms/day for children aged 1 to 3 years old.

The content of iodine in the human body is 20 to 50 mg, of which 20 to 30% is stored in the thyroid gland, and the remaining iodine is present in tissues such as muscles.

Iodine in water and food mostly exists in the form of inorganic iodine compounds, which can be directly absorbed by the intestines, and most of them are used by the thyroid gland to form thyroxine. Most of the thyroxine is conjugated with glucuronic acid in the liver and enters the intestine with bile. About 1/3 of it is reabsorbed and the rest is excreted in the feces.

Iodine is the main raw material for the synthesis of thyroxine in the human body. Thyroxine can regulate the metabolism of the three major nutrients (protein, fat, sugar) and heat energy metabolism.

Taking too little iodine can cause congenital thyroid insufficiency in infants and young children, which can lead to mental retardation, dementia, short stature, hearing loss, delayed bone development, edema, etc. Therefore, mothers should eat more iodine-containing foods during pregnancy and lactation to meet the needs of their babies.

Iodine mainly comes from seafood, such as kelp, seaweed, jellyfish, hairtail, etc.

The main manifestations and harms of iodine deficiency diseases

1. Iodine deficiency leads to mental retardation, stupidity, idiots, and other intellectual disabilities.

2. Iodine deficiency leads to endemic goiter and hypothyroidism.

3. Severe iodine deficiency can lead to endemic cretinism. This is mainly due to severe iodine deficiency during fetal and infancy. Patients are stupid, short, deaf-mute, and paralyzed, showing a special and ugly appearance.

4. Iodine deficiency in pregnant women can lead to premature birth, miscarriage, stillbirth, congenital malformations, congenital deafness and mute children, etc.

5. When the iodine deficiency is not very serious, although there are no typical symptoms of cretinism, there is still mental retardation or developmental delay, which is the so-called cretinism.
