Summary

The urinary iodide excretion in hospital subjects on regular and different restrictive diets was investigated. In subjects on a regular diet the average urinary iodide ((μg I−/g creatinine ; mean ± SD) was 104.7 ± 36.7. In subjects on a low caloric diet the urinary iodide content was 101.1 ± 24.2; in subjects starving for weight-reduction the mean value was 63.2 ± 23.9, significantly different from the controls (p < 0.005). In subjects on a high-caloric diet the urinary iodide was 145 ± 45.4, in those on a hepatoprotective diet 96.8 ± 18.8, respectively. The iodide excretion in subjects on an ulcer-protective diet was on the average 76.4 ± 22.3 which was significantly different from those on a regular diet (p < 0.01).
