Effect of chronic excess iodine intake on thyroid function and oxidative stress in hypothyroid rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Our objective was to investigate the effects of chronic excess iodine intake on thyroid functions and thyroid oxidative stress state in hypothyroid rats. Sixty rats were divided into euthyroid and hypothyroid (thiocyanate-induced) groups with or without administration of excess iodine (3000 or 6000 μg/L) for 8 weeks. Serum thyroxine (T(4)), triiodothyronine (T(3)), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid antioxidants (catalase, superoxide dismutase enzymes, and total antioxidants), and lipid peroxide (malondialdehyde; MDA) were measured. Reverse transcription - PCR gene expression for thyroidal Na(+)/I(-) symporter (NIS), D1 deiodinase, and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) were performed. Thiocyanate significantly decreased thyroid hormones (T(3), T(4)), increased lipid peroxides and antioxidants, and increased gene expression of NIS, D1 deiodinase, and TPO. Excess iodine intake in hypothyroid rats increased T3 and T4. Also, high iodine intake by hypothyroid rats significantly decreased NIS, D1 deiodinase, and TPO genes expression. Excess iodine significantly increased MDA and antioxidants in euthyroid and hypothyroid rats. In conclusion, thiocyanate-hypothyroidism increases gene expression of NIS, TPO, and TPO and induces oxidative stress. High iodine intake decreases NIS and D1 deiodinase gene expression in hypothyroid rats. Moreover, excess iodine increase thyroid hormones, lipid peroxides, and antioxidants in hypothyroid rats.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
