Abstract:SUMMARY
Previous studies indicated that 36Cl-labelled perchlorate is concentrated by rat and rabbit thyroid gland. However, the extent of concentration of radioactive perchlorate in the gland was much less than that of iodide. Since perchlorate itself has a marked effect on anion transport in the thyroid and the specific activity of available [36C]perchlorate is very low, the stable anion as a carrier present in the injected radioactive perchlorate solution may affect the uptake of this radioactive com… Show more

“…Several kinetic studies of these compounds have been reported in the literature. However, the majority of these are reported as a ratio of tissue (e.g., thyroid) versus plasma concentration of radiolabeled iodide and/or perchlorate (Chow et al, 1969;Chow and Woodbury, 1970;Wollman and Reed, 1959).…”

“…Perchlorate is actively taken up by the thyroid gland and prevents iodide uptake into the thyroid, disrupting thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion (Anbar et al, 1959;Capen 1996;Chow et al, 1969;Wolff, 1998). Since perchlorate competitively inhibits iodide uptake into the thyroid, less iodide is available for organification.…”

ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)Perchlorate interferes with iodide accumulation in the thyroid resulting in reduced thyroidal hormone synthesis. The objective of this project was to conduct a series of experiments to investigate the role of perchlorate on the uptake of iodide in the thyroid and its effects on the synthesis of thyroid hormones. A time course study with perchlorate (single iv dose) was performed to investigate its kinetic behavior in the adult male rat. Rats were injected with 0, 0.01, 0.1 1 and 3 mg perchlorate/kg via tail vein, challenged with 1251 with carrier at 2 h post dosing, and euthanized at predetermined time points. Three groups (n=6 per group) of 1-, 5-, and 14-day drinking water studies were performed at different levels of perchlorate (0, 1, 3 and 10 mg/kg). At the end of exposure, rats were challenged once by tail vein injection with 1251 with carrier. Dose-related inhibition of thyroid iodide uptake after a single iv dose of perchlorate, and both dose-and timedependent changes in inhibition of thyroid iodide uptake were observed in drinking water studies. In both the single dose and drinking water studies, TSH and free T4 levels were elevated with T4 levels decreased. Serum T3 levels in drinking water studies remained unchanged in all dosing groups.
“…At normal goitrogenic levels of these compounds, there is little uptake of the goitrogen into the thyroid (Chow et al 1969) therefore their activity must be upon the external membranes of the gland.…”
Congenital goitre was first recorded in Tasmanian sheep In 1945. Severe but sporadic outbreaks have since occurred in 1956, 1964 and 1968. The disease seemed to be associated with particular farms and its incidence often differed markedly between ewe flocks on the one farm. A survey indicated that the condition was mainly confined to the Derwent Valley and the northern Midlands. Studies involved a grazing trial near Bothwell, where goitre was endemic, and included supporting animal house tnals and plant growth studies. Soil type was shown to be a major factor in the disease: ewes grazing pasture on a sandy soil produced many more goitrous lambs than ewes grazing pasture on clay soil. Analyses of the two pastures revealed that those on sandy so11 contained less iodine than those on clay soil but neither contained the minimum level necessary to prevent goitre. Observations revealed that outbreaks of the disease followed wet autumns with subsequent lush pasture during pregnancy. This correlation could be explained if pasture grown under moist conditions contained less iodine than pasture grown under moisture stress. However, experiments with the two main pasture species (perennial ryegrass and subterranean clover) showed that plant iodine levels were not affected by the water supply. Two goitrogenic agents, nitrate and thiocyanate, were present in the pastures, but they were not considered to be Important in the aetiology of the disease. Similarly, the drinking water was found to be unimportant, even though the two sources available contained widely different amounts of iodine. Apparently, between-year variation in the incidence of goitre and the effect of soil type can best be explained by a varying iodine intake dependent on soil ingestion which varies with pasture availability. This hypothesis is discussed in the light of the results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
