[1.3] [#Alzheimer’s disease] - #Probiotic combined with selenium supplementation in AD patients resulted in synergistic improvements in MMSE score, reductions in CRP, reductions in total antioxidant capacity, lower insulin levels, lower LDL levels, and lower serum triglycerides. [1.4] [#Hypothyroidism] - the composition of the gut bacteria affects the uptake and movement of essential minerals such as #Iodine, copper, #Iron, #Zinc, and selenium, along with the required enzyme activity for synthesizing thyroid hormones. The conversion of thyroxine (T4) into active triiodothyronine (T3) or reverse T3 (rT3) heavily relies on iodothyronine-deiodinases. - The intestinal wall exhibits deiodinase activity, which possibly increases the overall amount of T3. - Animal models have demonstrated that individuals deficient in certain microorganisms have a reduced ability to absorb elemental #Iodine through the intestineReferences Notes[ ]
