Excess Iodine Exposure Acutely Increases Salivary Iodide And Antimicrobial Hypoiodous Acid Concentrations In Humans

2021-12-28

Abstract excerpt

The lactoperoxidase (LPO)-hydrogen peroxide-halides reaction (LPO system) converts iodide and thiocyanate (SCN - ) into hypoiodous acid (HOI) and hypothiocyanite (OSCN - ), respectively. Since this system has been implicated in defense of the airways and oropharynx from microbial invasion, we measured the concentrations of these analytes in human saliva before and after iodine administration to test the hypothesis...
