These hormones play a vital role in the regulation of various metabolic processes, particularly those involved in growth and energy expenditure. During childhood, these hormones are essential for normal cognitive and physical development. Moreover, thyroid hormones are critically important for normal development of a baby during pregnancy. Women planning a pregnancy therefore need to be particularly aware of their iodine levels and iodine intake from various foods.  ]]> 2019-04-04 04:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/NickMcMahon/Iodine/wish/348368407
