TLDR
A new "T-3" test, based on the competition between serum-binding proteins and Sephadex G-25 for 125I-triiodothyronine, is presented and results obtained with the TRILUTE system can validly be converted to percentage of free thyroxine.Abstract:
A new "T-3" test, based on the competition between serum-binding proteins and Sephadex G-25 for 125I-triiodothyronine, is presented. Results obtained with this commercially available system (TRILUTE) compare favorably with those obtained either by direct measurement of percentage of free thyroxine or by the resin sponge uptake method. The described system requires less time and less plasma (0.05 ml), and the Sephadex column is disposable. Since the results of the T-3 test with TRILUTE and those for the percentage of free thyroxine correlate well, results obtained with the TRILUTE system can validly be converted to percentage of free thyroxine.read more

Separation of a thyroid-active fraction from unheated soya bean flour.
TL;DR: An agent depressing thyroid function present in soya beans has been described and its incorporation into the diet increases the tri-iodothyronine-binding capacity of rat serum.

Hyperthyroidism with normal concentrations of total serum thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
TL;DR: A patient who was hyperthyroid because of a hyperfunctioning thyroid adenoma became clinically euthyroid; the abnormally high free thyroxine (FT4), triiodothyronine resin uptake (T3R) and rapid achilles reflex time (ART) returned to normal.

TL;DR: Cassava inclusion at up to 40% of the diet did not significantly reduce ADF, ADG or EFC and had no significant effects on blood thyroxine or triiodothyronine levels.

TL;DR: The results suggest that PAS-C lowers plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels in hypertriglyceridemic subjects reducing endogenous very low density lipoprotein production and/or secretion into the circulation.
