Usage Information
Abstract
The main objective of this study was to determine whether the principal abnormality of thyroid function observed in patients with chronic renal failure, low serum triiodothyronine (T3) concentration, causes hypothyroidism at the tissue level. A partially nephrectomized (Nx) uremic rat model was developed and the following parameters of thyroid function were assessed: serum total thyroxine (TT4), total T3 (TT3), and thyrotropin and liver T3 content, and activity of two thyroid hormone-dependent enzymes, mitochondrial α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (α-GPD) and cytosol malate dehydrogenase (MDH). The results were compared to those of intact control (C), thyroidectomized (Tx), and nephrectomized-thyroidectomized (NxTx) littermates.

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.
