Nutritional Evaluation in Blood Chemical Test. Effects on Free Thyroxine Index of Iodine Through. Wakame Seaweed / 日本農村医学会雑誌

In this study, the effects of excessive iodine intake on free thyroixine index (FTI) were studied, and the results are presented in the following.<BR>FTI tended to decrease during the basal diet period without wakame seaweed and the decrease tended to continue further during the periods of TEST 1 (wakame seweed 10g/day) and TEST 2 (wakame seaweed 20g/day). The trend changed in the period of TEST 3 (wakame seaweed 40g/day), and FTI rose slightly. When the basal diet was resumed after completion of experimental diets, the level returned to the base line levels measured before the beginning of the experiment.
