Estimation of free triiodothyronine in serum: a new method and its clinical relevance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a method for estimating free triiodothyronine in serum by polyacrylamide gel filtration. Precise and easy to perform, it avoids the lengthy incubation required for equilibrium dialysis. Results of this procedure correlate well with those by the dialysis method over a wide range of thyroid states. The role of free triiodothyronine as part of a protocol for the evaluation of thyroid status is discussed.

Evaluation of Total Antioxidant, Total Calcium, Selenium, Insulin, Free Triiodothyronine and Free Thyroxine Levels in Cows with Ketosis
Ketosis is an important metabolic disease of high milk-producing cows. There are significant changes in many metabolite and hormonal concentrations in metabolic diseases. This study was carried out to assess the concentrations calcium (Ca), selenium (Se), total antioxidant (TAOC), insulin, free triiodothyronine (fT3) and free thyroxine (fT4) in cows with subclinical and clinical ketosis. This s...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of a modified assay of free triiodothyronine in serum.
The performance of a modified commercial (Diagnostic Products Corp.) assay for free triiodothyronine in serum was evaluated, and its diagnostic value was compared with two other methods for free triiodothyronine estimation in euthyroid subjects and in patients with thyroid dysfunction. No advantage was demonstrated for the modified assay as an index of thyroid status. In conditions involving th...

Introduction: Determination of thyrotropin, total and free thyroxine and triiodothyronine are widely used as diagnostic methods for thyroid function evaluation. There have been numerous reports of interferences in thyroid hormone immunoassays. Herein, a prominent positive interference is reported for a radioimmunoassay kit of total triiodothyronine. Materials and Methods: In this study, a total...

BACKGROUND: The preliminary survey made about congenital goiter in goats in Garmsar township indicated that the disease occurs much more in Beetal-cross than native goats raised in the same area. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to compare of serum triiodothyronine (T3), tetraiodothyronine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone concentrations in pregnant and lactating Beetal-cross and...
متن کاملEvaluation of new kits for the assessment in vitro of thyroid function by determination of serum total thyroxine, free TBG capacity, and free thyroxine index using Sephadex G-25 and '25I-labelled triiodothyronine and thyroxine
SYNOPSIS A trial was carried out on 134 patients of new kits (Ames Co) using columns of Sephadex G-25 for the determination of serum total thyroxine (Tetralute test) and for the indirect estimation of serum free thyroxine-binding globulin capacity (Trilute test). Both new methods were quicker and easier than the reference resin methods and of similar precision. The two measurements when combine...
