Bioavailability Study of Iodine from Erythrosine and Iodophors. Erythrosine II

摘要

The authors have tested the hypothesis 'iodine from erythrosine is physiologically available to participate in thyroid metabolism'. To accomplish this, they have used a two phase program. In the first phase, miniature pigs received a normal pig diet while they obtain base data necessary to make comparisons later in the experiment. During the second phase, graded levels of erythrosine including some with a radioactive iodine tag were fed to the pigs. Bioavailability was determined by following the metabolism of the radioactive iodine.
