[Analysis of iodine compounds in young rat skin in the period of suckling and in the adult. Effect of perchlorate]Zeghal N, Redjem M, Gondran F, Vigouroux E. Arch Physiol Biochem. 1995 Aug;103(4):502-11. French. [abstract only]
"In the suckling and adult rats equilibrated or no by 125I, cutaneous iodine analysed by dialysis and chromatography techniques (Dowex and Sephadex) was the purpose of this study. Dialysis studies had shown that most of steady or labelled skin iodine had an iodide form (90 to 95% of the total iodine). There were at least two intracellular iodide pools: the first one was quickly dialysable, in fact about 60 percent of initial radioactivity represented the intracellular iodide equilibrated with extracellular fluid. The other one wasn't or was little dialysable representing probably the cutaneous iodide storage compartment. Chromatography studies (Dowex or Sephadex) demonstrated that the skin of the young and adult rat contained T4 and T3 hormones in a small percentage. The iodide represented a value more than 90% of initial total radioactivity. Results concerning kinetic skin iodine, eight and twenty four hours after LT4(125)I injected to adults and to control and iodine deficient ten day old rats, confirmed those obtained here by Dowex chromatography and previous ones. Triiodothyronine (T3) might have an origin either in thyroid synthesis or in deiodination of T4. Consequently we may say that the skin of the 10 day and 14 day old rats presented a great accumulation of iodide. The perchlorate inhibited this storage. Indeed, in young deficient iodine rats at birth, cutaneous iodide concentrations were reduced whereas those of T4 and T3 as well as the ratio T3/T4 haven't been modified. Therefore the iodine deficiency seemed to have a few effects on the skin deiodinating activity. Indeed the skin of iodine deficient immature rat became unable to accumulate iodide. The main effect of the skin iodine deficiency was the inhibition of iodide transport from the extracellular fluid to the intracellular one, but not inside cellular structures."
Iodide and T4 kinetics in plasma, thyroid gland and skin of 10-day-old rats: effects of iodine deficiency.Zeghal N, Gondran F, Redjem M, Giudicelli MD, Aissouni Y, Vigouroux E. Acta Endocrinol (Copenh). 1992 Nov;127(5):425-34. [abstract only]
"The effects of iodine deficiency on the peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormone in immature rat were evaluated by measuring the kinetics of iodide and thyroxine (T4) in control and iodine-deficient 10-day-old rats. Iodine-deficient pups were obtained by giving the mother drinking water containing perchlorate; this anion is not transferred but prevents iodine transfer in the mother's milk. Labelled iodocompounds were measured in plasma, thyroid and skin for 48 h following intravenous injection of Na131I plus [125I]T4. Data were interpreted by compartmental analysis. The iodide plasma clearance rate, plasma equivalent distribution volume, plasma concentration, production and iodine thyroid content of iodine-deficient rats were significantly lower (-29%, -31%, -84%, -89% and -87% respectively) than in control 10-day-old rats. The iodide thyroid uptake was reduced (-47%) but remained higher than the release of iodine as T4. Cutaneous iodine was lost much more quickly by iodine-deficient pups than by control pups, explaining the decreased iodide distribution volume. The parameters of T4 metabolism were not changed by iodine deficiency, except for a slight but significant reduction of the thyroxinemia and T4 pools (-13%). Thence, T4 production was not significantly changed (about 8 pmol/h in control and iodine-deficient rats). The labelled T4 curves in iodine-deficient and control skin were superimposed and the patterns of labelled T3 derived from [125I]T4 were identical. Thus, the skin of immature rats converts T4 to T3; this process was not disturbed by iodine deficiency. The thyroid function of immature rats is particularly resistant to iodine deficiency, but the mechanisms remain unknown."
