Journal ArticleDOI
Iodine and selenium deficiency associated with cretinism in northern Zaire.
Jean-Baptiste Vanderpas,Bernard Contempre,N L Duale,W Goossens,N Bebe,R Thorpe,K Ntambue,Jacques Emile Dumont,C H Thilly,A T Diplock +9 more
TL;DR: This combined iodine and selenium deficiency could be associated with the elevated frequency of endemic myxedematous cretinism in Central Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of selenium supplementation in hypothyroid subjects of an iodine and selenium deficient area: the possible danger of indiscriminate supplementation of iodine-deficient subjects with selenium.
Bernard Contempre,Jacques Emile Dumont,B. Ngo,Claude Hector Thilly,A T Diplock,Jean-Baptiste Vanderpas +5 more
TL;DR: Two months of selenium supplementation was shown to modify the serum thyroid hormones parameters in clinically euthyroid subjects and to induce a dramatic fall of the already impaired thyroid function in clinically hypothyroid subjects, further support a role of seenium in thyroid hormone metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of selenium supplementation on thyroid hormone metabolism in an iodine and selenium deficient population.
Bernard Contempre,N L Duale,Jacques Emile Dumont,B. Ngo,A. T. Diplock,Jean-Baptiste Vanderpas +5 more
TL;DR: A short selenium supplementation programme was conducted in northern Zaïre, already known as one of the most Iodine deficient regions In the world and characterized by a predominance of the myxoedematous form of cretinism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiological support for a multifactorial aetiology of Kashin-Beck disease in Tibet.
C. Suetens,Rodrigo Moreno-Reyes,C. Chasseur,Françoise Mathieu,Françoise Begaux,Eric Haubruge,M. C. Durand,Jean Neve,Jean-Baptiste Vanderpas +8 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that Kashin-Beck disease occurs as a consequence of oxidative damage to cartilage and bone cells when associated with decreased antioxidant defence is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium deficiency mitigates hypothyroxinemia in iodine-deficient subjects
Jean-Baptiste Vanderpas,Bernard Contempre,N L Duale,H. Deckx,N Bebe,Ahuka O. Longombé,Claude Hector Thilly,A T Diplock,Jacques Emile Dumont +8 more
TL;DR: In selenium-and-iodine-deficient humans, seenium supplementation may aggravate hypothyroidism by stimulating thyroxin metabolism by the selenoenzyme type I iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase.
