Description

Emerging evidence suggests that atmospheric and oceanic iodine cycles may influence human metabolic and hormonal profiles in polar environments. The Polar T3 Syndrome-characterized by altered triiodothyronine (T3) kinetics, cognitive impairment, and metabolic adaptations during prolonged Antarctic residence-could partially stem from unique iodine dynamics in these regions.
