Journal ArticleDOI

Altered intestinal absorption of L-thyroxine caused by coffee.

TL;DR: In vivo and in vitro studies showing coffee's potential to impair thyroxine (T4) intestinal absorption and T4 to the list of compounds whose absorption is affected by coffee are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iodine Prophylaxis Using Iodized Salt and Risk of Maternal Thyroid Failure in Conditions of Mild Iodine Deficiency

TL;DR: Prolonged iodized salt significantly improves maternal thyroid economy and reduces the risk of maternal thyroid insufficiency during gestation, probably because of a nearly restoring intrathyroidal iodine stores.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal thyroid function in different conditions of iodine nutrition in pregnant women exposed to mild‐moderate iodine deficiency: an observational study

TL;DR: The effect of different conditions of nutritional iodine intake on maternal thyroid function throughout gestation in a cohort of healthy, anti‐thyroid antibody‐negative women from a mild‐moderately iodine‐deficient area is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gestational thyroid function abnormalities in conditions of mild iodine deficiency: early screening versus continuous monitoring of maternal thyroid status

TL;DR: In mildly ID areas thyroid function testing early in gestation seems to be only partly effective in identifying thyroid underfunction in pregnant women, and adequate iodine supplementation should be strongly recommended to meet the increased hormone demand over gestation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relaxin: New Pathophysiological Aspects and Pharmacological Perspectives for an Old Protein

TL;DR: A careful study of the different RXFPs and their receptors and the comprehension of all biological activities of these hormones will probably provide new drugs with a potential wide range of therapeutic applications in the near future.
