title: [Role of nutrition in the development of functional shifts in the thyroid].
abstract: The authors studied the effect of the diets differing in macroelements and trace elements (excess silicon in association with moderate deficiency of iodine and cobalt) on thyroid function in normal people living in the endemic regions with regard to goiter. The shifts in thyroid function were found to correlate with the increased content of silicon and some other trace elements in the diets. The silicon subregion is marked by the incidence of dysthyrosis of the thyroid gland.
