Iodine and the Adrenals

Thus far, there is very little research on the effect of iodine on the adrenals.  However, it seems likely that iodine does affect the adrenals.

Moreover, the adrenal hormones (especially hydrocortisone) affect iodide uptake in the thyroid.

Escobar, et al, examined the effects of various levels of iodine on thyroid hormone levels in different body tissues, including the adrenals.  They found that iodine levels in the adrenals have a marked effect on T3 as well as T4.  Increasing levels of iodine deficiency resulted in greatly reduced levels of T3, even lower than T3 levels in the blood.

Kohn and Takiyama found that hydrocortisone affects iodide uptake in the thyroid.
