The physiology of iodine.

The history of work on the physiology of iodine is traced, and the rapid advances of the past quarter of a century described. In considering the application of these discoveries and of recently-developed techniques to problems of thyroid function and the treatment of hyperthyroidism, the author examines the mechanism of the iodide trap and the role of iodide in the biosynthesis of hormones. The kinetics of hormone release, the nature of the circulating thyroid hormone, and hormonal metabolism are discussed.
