WOLFF-CHAIKOFF EFFECT

Iodine may be given for patients with hyperthyroidism like Graves' disease. The Wolff–Chaikoff effect is the principle behind this therapy by way of preventing the organification of iodine (this means that oxidized iodine, I2, is being incorporated into thyroglobulin in order to be utilized in thyroid hormone production, which we do not want in patients with already elevated thyroid hormone levels). As negative feedback to the inhibition, there would then be a reduction in the synthesis of thyroid hormones, helping the patient get back to the euthyroid state.

About the Piefox Creature

Piefoxes are a fun-loving creature that become the most active around Thanksgiving. They frequently love running around at top speed and crashing their pie-faces into unsuspecting victims. Typically, people respond pretty positively to such pranks, as Piefox pies are incredibly delicious.

Eat pie from a Piefox isn't particularly harmful to the creature itself. So... enjoy and partake in a delicious dessert! However, when the pie is out, it's out. You'll need to respect the Piefox's boundary until the pie has regenerated. Piefox pie isn't typically abundant outside of Thanksgiving time.
