Abstract
Is there a Difference in Zinc and Vitamin A Status between Children with and without Goiter?
Iodide supplementation may be an important approach to improve iodine deficiency, however, it is still considered as a common health problem worldwide. The importance of trace elements in thyroid function has been revealed. The aim of this study was to compare the serum levels of Zinc and Vitamin A in children with and without goiter.
