Sequence of 123-iodide total-body scintiscans of a woman after intravenous injection of 123-iodide (half-life: 13 hours); (from left) respectively at 30 minutes, and at 6, 20 and 48 hours. High and rapid concentration of radio-iodide (in white) in extra-thyroidal organs is evident in gastric mucosa of the stomach, epidermis, salivary glands, periencephalic liquor, choroid plexus and oral mucosa. In gastric mucosa 131-iodide (half-life: 8 days) persists in scintiscans for more than 72 hours. In the thyroid, iodide-concentration is more progressive, as in a reservoir [from 1% (after 30 minutes) to 5.8 % (after 48 hours) of the total injected dose]. High iodide-concentration by the mammary gland is evident only in pregnancy and lactation. High excretion of radio-iodide is observed in the urine.

  IODINE in EVOLUTION. (2002)
Over three billion years ago, blue-green algae were the first living Prokaryota to produce oxygen in the atmosphere. About 700 million years ago (m/y/a) thyroxine (T4) is present in fibrous exoskeletal scleroproteins of the lowest invertebrates (sponges and corals) without showing any hormonal action. About 500-400 m/y/a some primitive marine fishes started to emerge from the iodine-rich sea (60 ug/L) and transferred to iodine-deficient fresh water (5-0.2 ug/L) and about 400-300 m/y/a these vertebrates evolved in amphibians and reptiles and transferred to I-deficient land. Therefore these vertebrates needed a new follicular organ: the thyroid gland, as reservoir of iodine. These vertebrates started to use its primitive T4 as transporter, into the peripherical cells, of antioxidant iodide and T3. The remaining T3 became the active hormone in the metamorphosis and thermogenesis for a better adaptation to terrestrial environment: fresh water, atmosphere, gravity, temperature and diet.
