Glycolytic activity of five brain areas in the rat was studied under two hypothyroid states: (1) induced by low-iodine diet from weaning, and (2) induced by propylthiouracil. The areas studied were the anterior cortex, amygdala, hypothalamus, septum and hippocampus. A low-iodine diet induced a decrease of pyruvate kinase activity in three region and of phosphofructokinase in the hippocampus, while hexokinase increased in both the amygdala and septum. Propylthiouracil treatment produced an increase in hexokinase activity in the hypothalamus and septum, and a decrease in the anterior cortex, while phosphofructokinase decreased significantly in the hippocampus. No significant changes of lactate dehydrogenase activity were observed. The correlation between the results and type of hypothyroidism is discussed.

Background Radioactive iodine (iodine-131) therapy is widely used for treating thyroid cancer. However, the knowledge and practices of healthcare professionals in preparing patients for radioactive iodine therapy may vary, potentially affecting patient outcomes. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practices of healthcare professionals at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Jeddah, regarding the preparation of patients with thyroid cancer for radioactive iodine therapy.

Iodine is critical for thyroid hormone synthesis and developmental programming in the first 1,000 days of life. The effect of maternal iodine on milk protein secretion remains unknown. We aimed to explore the effect of long-term maternal iodine deficiency and excess on milk protein secretion in lactating rats and its mechanisms preliminarily.

Aims: This study aims to observe the fluctuating urine iodine levels in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) following iodinated contrastenhanced computed tomography (eCT) scans.
Background: The presence of iodine in iodinated contrast agents (ICAs) can impede the effectiveness of radioactive iodine treatment (RAIT) and diagnostic scans in individuals diagnosed with DTC, as it can engage in competitive interactions with 131I. According to established guidelines, it is recommended to postpone RAIT for a period of three to four months in individuals who have had prior exposure to ICAS.
