Thyroid stunning means reduced radioiodine uptake in thyroid tissue or tumour following a diagnostic 131I test dose. This may compromise subsequent 131I radiotherapy. Recently, we found that 131I inhibits iodide uptake in cultured thyroid cells at non-lethal absorbed doses. Here, we have investigated whether 131I irradiation affects the TSH-stimulated transcription of the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) gene, and whether insulin-like g...
