The process ofageing is to a large extent due to the damagingconsequence of free radical action (lipid peroxidation,DNA damage, protein oxidation) (Harman, 1956).Convincing evidence for the association ofoxidative/ nitrosative stress and acute and chronicdiseases lies on validated biomarkers of oxidativestress.
The radioactive iodine uptake test, or RAIU test, is a type of scan used in the diagnosis of thyroid problems, particularly hyperthyroidism.he normal uptake is between 15 and 25 percent, but this may be forced down if, in the meantime, the patient has eaten foods high in iodine, such as dairy products and seafood. Low uptake suggests thyroiditis, high uptake suggests Graves' disease, and unevenness in uptake suggests the presence of a nodule.
I just had a thyroid uptake scan. 5. Get help from a doctor now âº. MAY BE NORMAL: Normal range of thyroid uptake varies from lab to lab and geographic region to region. For those labs who accepts 10% to 30% as normal range, the 13.8% may be considered normal but lower range of normal.or i-123 and low i-131 the uptake and the scan is usually done at 24 hours. A thyroid probe directed to your neck measures the radioiodine uptake, this is follow by a gamma camera scan which makes an image of your thyroid gland based on the radioiodine distribution.
