    Journal: J Endocrinol Invest; 1996 Jan; 19(1):1-5. PubMed ID: 8851684.
    Abstract:
    In order to reduce the prevalence of goiter in a village of Mali liable to iodine deficiency, an iodized product (Lipiodol Ultra Fluide) was orally administered to their inhabitants. Taking into account a series of demographic variables and goiter types, a protocol was conducted using Lipiodol at three different dosage levels. Six months after the treatment, the hormone levels regained normal values, whereas only the smallest dose reduces the volume of goiters significantly.
