The role of iodine in the pathogenesis of thyroid hormone autoantibodies (THAA) was evaluated in a large series (n = 223) of patients submitted to chronic treatment (3-36 months) with the iodine-rich drug, amiodarone. Positive anti-T3 autoantibody (AbT3) tests were found only in one patient, whereas tests for anti-T4 autoantibody (AbT4) were negative in all cases. Likewise, the incidence of THAA in the control groups of patients with spontaneous thyroid disorders was low. The overall prevalence of THAA in the present series of 803 patients was 1.2% for AbT3 and 0.1% for AbT4. The present data strongly suggest that iodine plays a minor role, if any, in the occurrence of THAA.

D000638 Amiodarone An antianginal and class III antiarrhythmic drug. It increases the duration of ventricular and atrial muscle action by inhibiting POTASSIUM CHANNELS and VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS. There is a resulting decrease in heart rate and in vascular resistance.

D013961 Thyroid Gland A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.

D013974 Thyroxine The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.

D014284 Triiodothyronine A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
