although the main mechanism of 131i uptake suppression in the thyroid gland in subacute thyroiditis is due to cellular damage and suppression of tsh release , our present findings suggest that il-1 , tnf alpha , and ifn gamma produced in the inflammatory process within the thyroid gland further inhibit iodine incorporation and at least partly account for the decreased 131i uptake by the thyroid gland in destruction-induced hyperthyroidism .
