(20) Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) occurs most frequently in patients with underlying thyroid disease and is generally believed to be due to the iodine contamination of amiodarone and iodine released by the metabolism of the drug.

Definition:
(n.) The egg of a louse or other small insect.
Example Sentences:
(1) Okay, that number 8 ranking isn’t incredibly impressive but it’s much better than, say, settling for a NIT bid and then (hilariously) losing in the first round .
(2) The extent and duration of the blood pressure (BP) lowering effect of 20 mg nitrendipine (NIT) once daily and 40 mg nicardipine slow release (NIC) twice daily were compared in 12 men (aged 39-55 years) with mild essential hypertension according to a randomized, cross over study.
(3) nit-4 is a pathway-specific regulatory gene which controls nitrate assimilation in Neurospora crassa, and appears to mediate nitrate induction of nitrate and nitrite reductase.
(4) We have studied the fate of NIT in the immature female rat, the animal model in which most of the biochemical studies of NIT have been carried out.
(5) In Neurospora crassa, the expression of nit-3, the structural gene which encodes nitrate reductase, is highly regulated and requires both nitrate induction and nitrogen catabolite derepression.
(6) In cells that contain a mutation in the putative regulatory gene nit-2, significantly lower levels of the 3.4-kilobase transcript were found, indicating that the wild-type nit-2 gene is involved in the control of nitrate reductase transcript levels.
