| pubmed-article:3666055 | pubmed:abstractText | The urinary iodide excretion in hospital subjects on regular and different restrictive diets was investigated. In subjects on a regular diet the average urinary iodide (microgram I-/g creatinine; mean +/- SD) was 104.7 +/- 36.7. In subjects on a low caloric diet the urinary iodide content was 101.1 +/- 24.2; in subjects starving for weight-reduction the mean value was 63.2 +/- 23.9, significantly different from the controls (p less than 0.005). In subjects on a high-caloric diet the urinary iodide was 145 +/- 45.4, in those on a hepatoprotective diet 96.8 +/- 18.8, respectively. The iodide excretion in subjects on an ulcer-protective diet was on the average 76.4 +/- 22.3 which was significantly different from those on a regular diet (p less than 0.01). | lld:pubmed |
