Iodoacetamide is an alkylating sulfhydryl reagent used for used for peptide mapping purposes. Its actions are similar to those of iodoacetate.

Iodine is a vital nutrient.  It is necessary for the function of the thyroid gland.  Since not everyone eats shellfish, which is a natural source, someone decided it would be a good idea to add it to table salt.\n\nSodium iodide is given for radiation exposure.  There are some communities near some nuclear reactors where the people are given sodium iodide tablets to take in case of a radiation release.  Although I am not sure of the exact mechanism, I believe that it is given because the iodine can bind with certain radioactive isotopes you may have inhaled (or otherwise gotten into your body) and help you eliminate it from your body before it can do a lot of harm.

Iodine is very important.  Your body needs iodine in order to successfully synthesize the thyroid hormones (t3,t4). Thyroid hormones control the levels of metabolism throughout the body. If there is a iodine deficiency it will lead to an enlarged thyriod gland called a goiter (giant lump around your neck).  \n\nOutside of salt, seafood is a good source of iodine

How much water is that iodine tab supposed to treat? One quart?\nIf you can drink the water after it's treated, that concentration of iodine applied in a quart of liquid  most certainly should  not be toxic to apply externally on your skin as part of the soap formulation.

"Iodine, it is sublime". (Because it sublimates-goes directly from solid to a gas).\n\nGet an "A".

lead acetate test is used for detection of iodide ion. \nso, let the sample salt be ferric iodide.This ferric iodide doesn't react easily with lead acetate . sample is boiled first in 50% NaOH solution as lead acetate reacts with NaOH to form NaI, which reacts easily  with lead acetate to form lead iodide(yellow ppt.)

It is a strong oxidizer therefore used in sterilization or as a disinfectant. Its chemical formula is also known as peracetic acid C2H4O3.

The iodine helps each organelle stand out so it's easier to identify the organelle structure and placement.

From: Cerebral Blood Flow During Hemodilution and Hypoxia in Rats Role of ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels \nYoshinobu Tomiyama, MD; Johnny E. Brian, Jr, MD Michael M. Todd, MD Stroke. 1999;30:1942-1948\n\n\n"In preliminary studies, we administered intravenous glibenclamide (20 to 30 mg/kg) to anesthetized rats, and tested efficacy of blockade by topically applying a KATP agonist to cerebral arterioles. Intravenous glibenclamide did not attenuate dilatation of cerebral arterioles caused by topical KATP agonist (unpublished observations), suggesting that systemic glibenclamide does not significantly penetrate the blood-brain barrier"\n\nHope this helps

This is a muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. It is used to treat increased muscle tone associated with spasticity.

Idebenone is similar to CoQ10 in its antioxidant properties. CoQ10 is one of life's most essential biochemicals, hence its title "ubiquinone" (ubi=ubiquitous).\n\nIdebenone is different from Coenzyme Q 10 in one very important way. During a hypoxic (low oxygen) condition, CoQ10 can switch function from an anti-oxidizing to an auto-oxidizing process. This auto-oxidation rapidly produces massive amounts of free radicals which damage the tissues of the body.\n\nIdebenone performs the same functions as CoQ10 without the risk of an auto-oxidation reaction.\n\nIdebenone is said to promote NGF (nerve growth factor) in the brain. It appears to reduce tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Idebenone has also been used in topical applications to treat wrinkles

potassium iodine\nyeah, potassium iodide\nperson below me is right

iodine turns starch black or a dark brown so you know if iodine is present in teh starch

SUN's got it right. Iodine is for starch, and biuret is for proteins (or polypeptides that have at least two peptide bonds).\nWhen these indicators react, we can us a spectrophotometer to quantitate how much of whatever substance you're testing for is present.

When radioactive iodine is used to treat an overactive thyroid, the dosage is usually quite small.  The radioactivity is mostly in a form that travels very short distances in the body usually 1/8 of an inch or less.  Radioactive iodine does not even damage structures next to the thyroid gland itself. There is no sterility, and no danger to unborn children. It is quite safe to have children after therapy. Doctors usually do recommend that you wait six months after the therapy if your a woman and planing on becomming pregnant. Hope this helps.

My grandmother told me to put white iodine on the toenail and the (toenail bed) cuticle. Three times a day. I did this on my son's toe for few weeks. (Make sure to change your socks twice a day.) Iodine doesn't hurt you or burn. It really works. You can get this at any pharmacy. Your cost will be about $2.00.  \n    Good Luck !!!!!!
