these experiments , together with the demonstration of the diet-dependent presence of iodinated phospholipids in dog thyroid , leads us to suggest that iodination of the membrane phospholipids of thyroid cells may be directly or indirectly involved at some stage in the synthesis of thyroglobulin , or exists as a scavenger mechanism , to re-utilize and/or recover released iodine from unstable compounds inside the thyroid cell .
