12444898-1	2002	BACKGROUND: Various clinical and experimental findings support the concept that human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) can stimulate iodide uptake in thyroid cells.	Iodides	129-135	chorionic gonadotropin subunit beta 5	Homo sapiens	110-113	
12444898-2	2002	DESIGN: We investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of hCG on iodide uptake, and particularly its action on the expression of Na+/I- symporter (NIS) mRNA and protein.	Iodides	82-88	chorionic gonadotropin subunit beta 5	Homo sapiens	75-78	
12444898-5	2002	RESULTS: Iodide uptake was increased by hCG in a dose- and time-dependent manner: maximal effects were observed after 72 h of stimulation.	Iodides	9-15	chorionic gonadotropin subunit beta 5	Homo sapiens	40-43	
12444898-9	2002	CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrated that hCG stimulates iodide uptake in FRTL-5 cells by increasing NIS mRNA and protein levels.	Iodides	54-60	chorionic gonadotropin subunit beta 5	Homo sapiens	39-42
