Abstract
A group of 13 normal subjects were evaluated for their extrathyroidal thyroxine distribution. The method employed the measurement of the acute plasma disappearance of a thyroxine-131I tracer and its concomitant uptake into the liver and forearm. The analysis of these parameters allowed the theoretical construction of a four compartmental mathematical model system comprised of the plasma, extracellular fluid, hepatic, and extrahepatic thyroxine pools. The results of this analysis revealed that the exchange of thyroxine from the plasma into the hepatic and extrahepatic cellular fluid spaces appeared, in general, to be rapid, while the uptake into the extrahepatic tissues was relatively slow. The calculated distribution of thyroxine at equilibrium was estimated to be 14% in liver, 34% in extrahepatic tissues, and 26% each in the plasma and extracellular fluid pools in this group of normal subjects.

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.
