[ noun ] (chemistry) a salt or ester of hydriodic acid
Used in print (Jacob Robbins et al., "The thyroid-stimulating...)On chemical grounds it seems most likely that iodide is first converted to * * f and then to * * f as the active iodinating species . Similar findings have been noted in a patient with congenital absence of the organification enzymes , whose thyroid tissue could only concentrate iodide . It is assumed that the iodine released from the iodotyrosines remains in the iodide pool of the thyroid , where it is oxidised and re-incorporated into thyroglobulin . This ion inhibits thyroid_hormone synthesis by interfering with iodide concentration in the thyroid . These drugs have no effect on the iodide concentrating mechanism , but they inhibit organification . Related terms halide sodium_iodide silver_iodide hydrogen_iodide potassium_iodide |
