Iodine is a trace element naturally present in some foods, added to some types of salt, and is available as a dietary supplement. Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormones regulate many important biochemical reactions including metabolic activity, protein and enzyme synthesis.
Thyroid function is primarily regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin. It is secreted by the pituitary gland to control thyroid hormone production and secretion. TSH secretion increases thyroidal uptake of iodine and stimulates the synthesis and release of T3 and T4.
