Guaranteed income supplement. Seniors may be eligible for the guaranteed income supplement (GIS), which is a monthly benefit paid to residents of Canada who receive a full or partial OAS pension. If a senior is single, his or her income should be below $14,352.
TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) increases the activity of the Sodium-Iodine Symporter (NIS) that drives iodine into the thyroid and into the cells of the other organs. That is the reason that the TSH blood levels increase when patients are taking iodine â the TSH is needed to drive iodine into the cells.
The thyroid uptake of iodine is decreased, as is the clearance of iodine. Aspirin also affects the peripheral metabolism of thyroxine and blunts the response of the release of TSH. Aspirin also inhibits the hepatic conversion of thyroxine to T3.... Despite these changes, patients remain euthyroid.
