Component
DIO1 / DIO2 / DIO3
Selenoprotein deiodinases that regulate thyroid-hormone metabolism; individual responses can differ.
2 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What it acts on
Restriction-related changes in deiodinase activity can change local thyroid-hormone metabolism.
Experimental context and source evidence
- availability_state
- Selenium restriction affects deiodinase expression or activity in a particular tissue.
- experimental_scope
- Mechanistic synthesis; deiodinase responses and clinical consequences are tissue- and context-dependent.
- limitations
- Normal serum TSH neither directly measures local T3 generation nor establishes hidden clinical tissue hypothyroidism. Combined iodine deficiency is a distinct context.
- trigger_kind
- nutrient_deficiency

DIO1, DIO2, and DIO3 are selenoproteins. Selenium restriction can therefore affect deiodinase biology and local thyroid-hormone metabolism. selenium restriction ↓ changes in deiodinase expression/activity ↓ changes in local T4 ↔ T3 / rT3 metabolism Serum TSH does not directly measure tissue-specific T3 generation. At the same time, a normal TSH should not be taken as proof that a neuron or other tissue is clinically “hypothyroid.” The degree of clinically important tissue-level decoupling in ordinary nutritional selenium deficiency is not captured by a single validated threshold.
