iodine and Weight Loss

iodine has been researched along with Weight Loss in 26 studies

Iodine: A nonmetallic element of the halogen group that is represented by the atomic symbol I, atomic number 53, and atomic weight of 126.90. It is a nutritionally essential element, especially important in thyroid hormone synthesis. In solution, it has anti-infective properties and is used topically.
diiodine : Molecule comprising two covalently bonded iodine atoms with overall zero charge..

Weight Loss: Decrease in existing BODY WEIGHT.

Trial Outcomes

Blood Sodium Concentration

Measurement of blood sodium concentration will determine if normonatremia (blood sodium concentrations within the normal physiological range of 135-145mmol/L) were maintained throughout the trial with appropriate fluid intake during the V2R antagonist, agonist and placebo intervention trials. (NCT02084797)
Timeframe: 4 study trials (4 weeks)

Saliva Sodium Concentration

Measurement of salivary sodium concentration will allow us to determine if the V2R antagonist, agonist and placebo interventions activate aquaporin-5 (AQP5) water channels that are also located in sweat glands. If the V2R acts on the sweat glands through AQP5, there should be parallel changes in sweat, urine and saliva sodium concentrations with each pharmaceutical intervention. (NCT02084797)

Sweat Sodium Concentration Obtained After the Steady-state Portion of the Trial

Changes in sweat sodium concentration will parallel changes in urine sodium concentration with use of the V2R antagonist, agonist and placebo if the primary hypothesis is true (sweat sodium is regulated by the V2R, similar to how urine sodium is regulated by principle cells located within in the kidney collecting duct) (NCT02084797)

Urine Sodium Concentration After the Steady-state Portion of the Trial

Changes in urine sodium concentration after use of the V2R antagonist, agonist and placebo interventions will verify whether or not pharmacologic activation or inhibition was successfully induced. (NCT02084797)
