Abstract:
In this study, the effects of excessive iodine intake on free thyroixine index (FTI) were studied, and the results are presented in the following.
FTI tended to decrease during the basal diet period without wakame seaweed and the decrease tended to continue further during the periods of TEST 1 (wakame seweed 10g/day) and TEST 2 (wakame seaweed 20g/day). The trend changed in the period of TEST 3 (wakame seaweed 40g/day), and FTI rose slightly. When the basal diet was resumed after completion of experimental diets, the level returned to the base line levels measured before the beginning of the experiment.
