Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Iodine and selenium trace elements are crucial for maintaining proper thyroid function. However, their biological impact on the human body is much broader. Therefore, an inadequate supply can result in more than just disorder of the thyroid gland.
The scope of this Special Issue includes research on the importance of selenium and iodine for specific systems/organs, both in physiological state and in the course of disease. We would encourage publication of research related to nutritional aspects as well as supplementation.
This Special Issue of Nutrients, titled “Selenium and Iodine in Human Health and Disease”, welcomes original research and reviews of the literature concerning this important topic.
