The Impact of Micronutrient Deficiencies inThe Impact of Micronutrient Deficiencies in Agricultural Soils and Crops on the Nutritional Health of Humans

TL;DR: The authors showed that high-yielding, disease-resistant cereals that also show greater tolerance to environmental stresses like drought and heat have dominated the diets of subsistence farmers and urban poor alike.

Do maternal urinary iodine concentration or thyroid hormones within the normal range during pregnancy affect growth parameters at birth? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: It was shown that birth weight may be affected by even mild variations in the normal concentrations of maternal thyroid hormones, and high-normal values of maternal free thyroxine and thyrotropin during pregnancy were inversely associated with neonatal birth weight.

Vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction procedure for iodine speciation in water samples

TL;DR: In this paper, a vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction (VALLME) method was proposed for the determination of the basic inorganic iodine species based on an ion pair formed between colorless tetrabutylammonium cation (TBA) and triiodide anion (I 3 ).

Breast-Milk Iodine Concentrations and Iodine Levels of Infants According to the Iodine Status of the Country of Residence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

TL;DR: In iodine-sufficient countries, the mean iodine concentrations in colostrum and mature breast milk corresponded to iodine sufficiency among infants, compatible with the international recommendation that lactating women and infants younger than two years of age who reside in iodine- sufficient countries do not require iodine supplementation.

Syntheses, structures, gas adsorption and reversible iodine adsorption of two porous Cu(II) MOFs

TL;DR: Two Cu(II)-organic frameworks, Cu(H2L)·DMF·2H2O (1), constructed by a new macrocycle-based tetracarboxylate have been solvothermally synthesized by varying the organic solvents under the same synthetic conditions as mentioned in this paper.

Dietary reference intakes: vitamin A, vitamin K, arsenic, boron, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, silicon, vanadium, and zinc.

TL;DR: The DRIs represent the new approach adopted by the Food and Nutrition Board to providing quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes for use in a variety of settings, replacing and expanding on the past 50 years of periodic updates and revisions of the Recommended Dietary Allowances.

Insulin-Like Growth Factors and Their Binding Proteins: Biological Actions*

TL;DR: In recognition of its generalized pleiotypic actions, sulfation factor was renamed somatomedin (mediator of the effects of somatotropin) and was included in the emerging classification of broad spectrum growth factors along with platelet derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factors, and epidermal growth factor.

Maternal thyroid deficiency during pregnancy and subsequent neuropsychological development of the child.

TL;DR: Undiagnosed hypothyroidism in pregnant women may adversely affect their fetuses; therefore, screening for thyroid deficiency during pregnancy may be warranted.

Dietary reference intakes for vitamin A, vitamin K, arsenic, boron, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, silicon, vanadium, and zinc : a report of the Panel on Micronutrients, Subcommittees on Upper Reference Levels of Nutrients and of Interpretation and Use of Dietary Reference Intakes, and the Standing Committee on the Scientific Evaluation of Dietary Reference Intakes, Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the scientific literature regarding dietary micronutrients, recommendations have been formulated regarding vitamins A and K, iron, iodine, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and other potentially beneficial trace elements such as boron to determine the roles, if any, they play in health.
