Popis: | Summary Iodised oil is traditionally based on the fatty acids (FAs) of the poppyseed, an expensive commodity. An equipotent but cheaper vehicle would be welcome, lodination of rapeseed oil yields a product (Brassiodol) with a total iodine content of 376 mg/mL. Brassiodol has been compared with the poppyseed-based Lipiodol in two villages in Chad in the west African goitre belt. A 2 mL dose of Brassiodol is followed by urinary spillover of half the ingested iodine. The other half undergoes tissue sequestration and slow release, allowing protection against iodine deficiency for 9 months and regression of stage l/ll goitre for longer than was achieved with Lipiodol. The prolonged protection offered by Brassiodol can be attributed to its unique lipid profile. The urinary output argues that 1 mL should not be exceeded, and at that dose the cost would be only 20 US cents per person per year. |
