Abstract(s)
Iodine is an essential micronutrient, used by the thyroid gland to synthesize thyroid hormones that perform pleiotropic functions in the human organism. These roles include stimulating somatic growth and regulating metabolism, cardiac function, and neurodevelopment, the latter through the control of synapse formation, neuronal migration, and myelination.
