With the aim to develop synthetic tools for the characterization of galactofuranosyltransferases, the synthesis of 9-decenyl glycosides of D-Manp, D-Galf and beta-D-Galf-(1,3)-D-Manp was targeted. The interest in the alkenyl ...

Iodide is an irreplaceable component of thyroid hormones; therefore, a key requirement for thyroid hormone synthesis is that iodide is actively accumulated in the thyroid. The ability of thyroid follicular cell to concentrate ...

Transcriptional mechanisms associated with iodide-induced downregulation of NIS expression remain uncertain. Here, we further analyzed the transcriptional regulation of NIS gene expression by excess iodide using PCCl3 ...

Iodide excess acutely downregulates NIS mRNA expression, as already demonstrated. PCCl3 cells treated or not with Nal, Nal + NaClO4 or Nal + Methimazole, for 30 min to 24 h, were used to further explore how iodide reduces ...

The detection limit (about 0.017 mu g mL(-1)) for voltammetric determination of iodide (peak at +0.87 V vs. Ag/AgCl at pH 2) at a glutaraldehyde-cross-linked poly-L-lysine modified glassy carbon electrode involving oxidation ...

A procedure for the standardization of ensembles of gold nanodisk electrodes (NEE) of 30 nm diameter is presented, which is based on the analytical comparison between experimental cyclic voltammograms (CV) obtained at the ...

Iodide (I−), an essential constituent of the thyroid hormones, is actively accumulated in the thyroid by the Na+/I− symporter (NIS), a key plasma membrane protein encoded by the slc5a5 gene. Mutations in slc5a5 cause I− ...
