Introduction of a spectrophotometric method for salivary iodine determination on microplate based on Sandell-Kolthoff reaction

Abstract

Iodine is an essential element for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Therefore, a reliable marker of iodine supply is important. Iodine is predominantly excreted via kidneys, but also via salivary glands. Our aim was to introduce a new and simple method for determination of salivary iodine concentration (SLIC).
