Serum free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine concentrations in pregnancy.
Blood was taken from women in each trimester of pregnancy at routine antenatal visits. Further samples were collected from an age matched control group of euthyroid women taking no medication. Free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine concentrations were measured by direct radioimmunoassay (Amerlex Kit methods, Amersham International, Amersham, Buckinghamshire).2 These free hormone assays use th...
متن کاملLevothyroxine therapy and serum free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine concentrations.
Although the normal thyroid gland secretes both levothyroxine (L-T4) and levotriiodothyronine (L-T3), normalization of serum TSH with L-T4-replacement therapy alone in hypothyroidism is generally believed to result in a normal serum L-T3 and to reflect a euthyroid state. However several recent studies suggest that this may not be the case. Accordingly, the relationship between serum free L-T4 a...
متن کاملLow maternal free thyroxine concentrations during early pregnancy are associated with impaired psychomotor development in infancy.
BACKGROUND Maternal thyroid function during early pregnancy is an important determinant of early fetal brain development because the fetal thyroid is unable to produce any T4 before 12-14 weeks' gestation. Overt maternal hypothyroidism as seen in severe iodine-deficient areas is associated with severely impaired neurological development of the offspring. At present, it is not known whether low ...
متن کاملCircadian variations of serum thyroxine, free thyroxine and 3,5,3'triiodothyronine concentrations in healthy dogs
This study was to determine the daily fluctuation of serum thyroxine (tT4), free thyroxine (fT4), 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations in healthy dogs. Thyroid function of these dogs was evaluated on the basis of results of TSH response test. Samples for the measurement of serum tT4, fT4, and T3 concentrations were obtained at 3- hour intervals from 8 : 00 to 20 : 00. Serum tT4, fT4, and...
متن کاملSerum Precipitable Iodine Concentrations during Pregnancy.
Circulating thyroid hormone is measured more accurately by determination of serum precipitable iodine than of basal metabolic rate (1 to 8). Since the latter increases during pregnancy (9 to 14) serum precipitable iodines were investigated in 43 pregnant women and followed in some subjects after delivery. 'A preliminary report of this investigation was included in the Proceedings of the Thirty-...
