Potassium iodide, but not potassium iodate, as a potential protective agent against oxidative damage to membrane lipids in porcine thyroid
BACKGROUND: Fenton reaction (Fe(2+)+H(2)O(2)→Fe(3+)+(•)OH+OH(−)) is of special significance in the thyroid gland, as both its substrates, i.e. H(2)O(2) and Fe(2+), are required for thyroid hormone synthesis. Also iodine, an essential element supplied by the diet, is indispensable for thyroid hormone...
