Abstract
A reliable method has been developed for the determination of total serum T3, dialyzable fraction (DFT3), and absolute concentration of free T3 (AFT3). Total T3 values (mean ± SD) were: healthy euthyroid subjects, 0.33 ± 0.07 μg per 100 ml; hyperthyroid patients, 0.71 ± 0.1 μg per 100 ml; hypothyroid, 0.10 ± 0.03 μg per 100 ml. Values (mean ± SD) for DFT3 in these groups were 0.46 ± 0.14%, 0.78 ± 0.17%, and 0.16 ± 0.08%, respectively. Calculated values for AFT3 were: 1.51 ± 0.4 mμg per 100 ml, 5.00 ± 0.6 mμg per 100 ml and 0.24 ± 0.1 mμg per 100 ml, respectively. Dilution of serum before dialysis lowered estimated DFT3 values. Enrichment of serum with labeled T3 in the range examined did not affect DFT3. However, DFT3 was increased by addition of Merthiolate to serum in concentration 1: 10,000 due to displacement of T3 from thyroxine-binding globulin to albumin. The data suggest that triiodothyronine may play a considerably more important role in normal and pathological physiology, as evidenced by kinetic analysis using these data. A metabolic role for T3 equal to that of T4 is indicated.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
