Conclusion of this study
In two of the iodide supplemented subjects thyrotrophin levels rose above the laboratory reference range and in a further three subjects initially elevated thyrotrophin values increased further. In contrast, no changes in thyroid function were observed in the placebo treated controls and none developed biochemical hypothyroidism. CONCLUSIONS Dietary iodide intakes of 750 micrograms/day or more may adversely affect thyroid function, especially in individuals with borderline hypothyroidism.
