critical for normal function of the thyroid gland‚ which is a key regulator of the body’s basic metabolic rate. Iodine is a micronutrient‚ meaning we require only small amounts of it. For example‚ adults need about 150 micrograms of iodine in the form of iodide ion per day. However‚ an insufficient supply of iodide via diet and drinking water causes the non-cancerous enlargement of the thyroid gland known as goiter. Prolonged lack of iodide can lead to loss of thyroid function and the birth defect known

Purine metabolism is central to the production of nucleotides in the body. Imbalances in this process can lead to hyperuricemia which is abnormally high levels of uric acid in the blood [>360μmol/L in females and >400μmol/L in males]. Hyperuricemia can lead to uric acid crystals precipitating in the joints‚ skin‚ vessels and other tissues‚ this is a form of inflammatory arthritis known as gout. Uric acid is a metabolite of purine metabolism therefore gout can aptly be characterized as a disorder
