Iodine Compounds

Iodolipids

Iodolipids are iodinated lipids -- i.e., lipids (fats) with incorporated iodine.

The requirements for the formation of iodolipids are (1) a peroxidase, (2) an elevated concentration of iodide and (3) hydrogen peroxide. These conditions can be met in various places in the body, including the thyroid, mammary gland, oviduct, and uterus.
