Statement of the Problem:
Thyroid cancer (TC) is the major health
consequence of nuclear accident. To prevent TC incidence, a single dose of
potassium iodide (KI) is recommended to block thyroid radioiodine uptake. In
situation of prolonged exposure like Fukushima disaster, many doses of KI may
be necessary. Whereas single dose of KI transiently blocks thyroid function the
Wolff-Chaikoff effect, studies about the effects of repeated KI administration are
scarce. Thyroid hormones (THs) play an obligatory role in many fundamental
processes underlying brain development and maturation, the repeated KI
administration could modify (THs) level which may impact body functioning.
Purpose:
To evaluate the impact of repeated administration of KI 1 mg/kg
in adult rat especially thyroid function and then in more sensitive model
the fetus with a particular focus on their central nervous system (CNS)
development.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation:
Adult male rats were subjected to either KI or saline solution over 8 days. Clinical
biochemistry, pituitary and thyroid hormones level, anti-thyroid antibodies level and thyroid genes expression were analyzed
30 days after stopping the treatment. The male progeny were subjected to KI indirectly through the treatment of their mothers
since (GD9) over 8 days and 30 days after the weaning, we evaluated the same parameters as for the adults, we also assessed
behavior and CNS genes expression.
Findings:
We didn’t report any significant effect of repeated KI intake in adult. On the other hand we obtained a significant
decrease of TSH and FT4 in treated progeny, also the treatment significantly altered CNS genes expression and motor behavior
of progeny.
Conclusion & Significance:
The data of adult may contribute to the ongoing developments of KI guidelines and marketing
authorization. Contrariwise toxic effect of repeated KI intake on immature brain requires more research.
