  • Title: Water goitrogens and endemic goitre in the Sudan.
    Author: el Mahdi E, Eltom M, Karlsson FA, Mukhtar E.
    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1986 Jun; 38(2):180-2. PubMed ID: 2426848.
    Abstract:
    The main cause of endemic goitre in the Sudan is dietary iodine deficiency. Water samples from four areas [Kass, Kosti, Wad Medani and Omdurman] two of which are known for endemic goitre did not appear to have any goitrogenic effect in our preliminary experiment using porcine thyroid follicle cell preparations.
