Iodine is an essential micronutrient required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which regulate growth, neurodevelopment, metabolism, and overall physiological homeostasis. Both iodine deficiency and iodine excess can profoundly influence human health, affecting not only thyroid function but also metabolic, cardiovascular, immunological, and systemic processes. Recent advances in clinical and experimental research have expanded our understanding of iodine's role beyond classical thyroid physiology, revealing its involvement in glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. Particular attention has also been directed toward iodine requirements during pregnancy and fetal development, where inadequate iodine intake may result in severe developmental consequences. This book provides a comprehensive overview of iodine biology, emphasizing its physiological importance, metabolic interactions, clinical implications, and the systemic consequences associated with disturbed iodine homeostasis.
