[Proceedings: Peroxydase activity in benign thyroid diseases and in experimental rat goiters (author's transl)]. 1975

P Fragu, and E Comoy, and B Nataf

Peroxydase activity in various benign thyroid diseases has been investigated. In hyperthyroid patients treated with antithyroid drugs, the observed increase in iodide-peroxydase activity (7 times that of normal tissue) is double than that of the DNA content. In goiter, the activity is 3 times that of normal tissue while the DNA content is unchanged. These results are in agreement with those obtained in rats maintained on a low iodine diet suggesting that high cellular enzymatic activity is due to specific enzyme induction in excess of cell proliferation and protein synthesis.

D007454 Iodides Inorganic binary compounds of iodine or the I- ion. Iodide
D007455 Iodine A nonmetallic element of the halogen group that is represented by the atomic symbol I, atomic number 53, and atomic weight of 126.90. It is a nutritionally essential element, especially important in thyroid hormone synthesis. In solution, it has anti-infective properties and is used topically. Iodine-127,Iodine 127
D010544 Peroxidases Ovoperoxidase
D006042 Goiter Enlargement of the THYROID GLAND that may increase from about 20 grams to hundreds of grams in human adults. Goiter is observed in individuals with normal thyroid function (euthyroidism), thyroid deficiency (HYPOTHYROIDISM), or hormone overproduction (HYPERTHYROIDISM). Goiter may be congenital or acquired, sporadic or endemic (GOITER, ENDEMIC). Goiters
