SOURCES:

Fish, shellfish, plants, cigarettes, soil, air, water, electronic devices, switches and closures for the semi-conductor industry, glass for medical procedures.

NUTRIENT INTERACTIONS:

Some of its toxic effects results from interference with biological functions of potassium.

This calculation includes the daily metabolites of cortisol (5-alpha THF, THF) and cortisone (THE) which maybe a better representation of daily cortisol output than measuring cortisol and cortisone alone due to metabolism differences in the liver (with thyroid hormone) and fatty tissues.

High levels can indicate increased cortisol secretion or hyperthyroidism.

Low levels may indicate decreased cortisol secretion or hypothyroidism.

Thorium is a naturally occurring element found at very low levels in the air, food and drinking water. It is not easily taken up by your body. It is unlikely that health effects will occur in the general population.

Sources:

Rocks, soil, water, plants, ceramics, gas lantern mantles, metals in the aerospace industry and nuclear reactors reactions, fuel for nuclear energy and mining. 

Nutrient interactions:

unknown

Physiological effects:

Th can damage chromosomes.

Clinical significance:

Exposure may lead to increased risk of certain cancers including gallbladder, liver, and leukemia, as well as cirrhosis. Inhaled Th (mainly among workers exposed to Th dus) can cause lung damage many years after being exposed

Urinary thorium (Th) provides an indication of recent or ongoing exposure to the radioactive metal, and endogenous detoxification to a lesser extent. This test measures Th232 which is the most abundant, naturally occurring radioactive isotope of Th.

Th is found almost everywhere in the earth’s crust, so exposure to small amounts of Th from air, food and water is unavoidable. Th is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that is found at low levels in soil, rocks, water, plants, and animals. Th is almost as abundant in the earth’s crust as lead, and three times more abundant than uranium (U238).

Threonine is a large neutral amino acid and a precursor for the amino acid glycine. Foods that contain relatively high amounts of threonine include cheeses (especially Swiss), meat, fish, poultry, seeds, walnuts, cashews, almonds and peanuts. Threonine gets converted to glycine using a two-step biochemical pathway involving the enzymes threonine dehydrogenase and the vitamin B6-dependent glycine C-acetyltransferase.

Threonine is an essential amino acid, i.e., it is vital for your health, but it cannot be synthesized by your body and therefore has to be obtained from a diet.
