Peripheral serum thyroxine, triiodothyronine and reverse triiodothyronine kinetics in the low thyroxine state of acute nonthyroidal illnesses. A noncompartmental analysis.
The low thyroxine (T(4)) state of acute critical nonthyroidal illnesses is characterized by marked decreases in serum total T(4) and triiodothyronine (T(3)) with elevated reverse T(3) (rT(3)) values. To better define the mechanisms responsible for these alterations, serum kinetic disappearance studies of labeled T(4), T(3), or rT(3) were determined in 16 patients with the low T(4) state and com...
متن کامل[Serum ratios of triiodothyronine to thyroxine and reverse-triiodothyronine in Graves' disease and destruction-induced thyrotoxicosis].
In order to determine the frequency of thyroxine (T4) toxicosis and study the possibility of usefulness for differentiation between thyrotoxic Graves' disease and destructioninduced thyrotoxicosis, the serum concentrations of T4, triiodothyronine(T3), reverse T3 (rT3), and T4-binding globulin (TBG) and the values of T3-uptake and radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) were measured, and free, T4 inde...
متن کاملPeripheral tissue mechanism for maintenance of serum triiodothyronine values in a thyroxine-deficient state in man.
The present study was undertaken to define the source of endogenous triiodothyronine (T3) production responsible for maintaining serum T3 levels in euthyroid subjects with depressed serum thyroxine (T4) values. After withdrawal from 4 wk of exogenous T3 administration, a 22% decline in serum T3 values (from 129 +/- 6 to 99 +/- 4 ng/dl) was observed in six euthyroid subjects, despite a twofold r...
متن کاملPresence of triiodothyronine, no detectable thyroxine and reverse triiodothyronine in human milk.
Thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and reverse triodothyronine (rT3) concentrations in human milk were measured by radioimmunoassay in 114 samples obtained from 1 week to 8 months postpartum. Several assay systems applied for the determination of serum thyroid hormone concentration were proved to be unsuitable for human milk, and the method of separating free and antibody-bound hormone by po...
متن کاملSerum 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...
