      It has many non endocrinal functions such as it increases the movement of granulocytes into the areas of inflammation, increases IgG production in human lymphocytes and ultimately improves human immune functions. Iodine also improves the process of phagocytosis by granulocytes to kill microorganisms (Venturi and Venturi, 2009). Many marine and freshwater fishes are rich in magnesium content like salmon, mackerel, halibut, shrimp, punti, mola, phasa and so on (Table 5).

      Iodine excess from an oversupply of iodized salt can impair thyroid function. Excessive iodine may increase the risk of thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and goiter [12,13]. There is a strong correlation between urinary iodine excretion (UIE) and iodine intake, so UIE may be the most reliable indicator to assess, monitor, and evaluate iodine nutrition [14,15].
