When circulating in the body, T3 and T4 are bound to transport proteins. Only a small fraction of the circulating thyroid hormones are unbound or free, and thus biologically active. T3 and T4 levels can thus be measured as free T3 and T4, or total T3 and T4, which takes into consideration the free hormones in addition to the protein-bound hormones.
Low-T3 syndrome and high-T3 syndrome: Consequences of step-up hypodeiodination, e.g. in critical illness as an example for type 1 allostasis, [20] or hyperdeiodination, as in type 2 allostasis, including posttraumatic stress disorder. [12] Resistance to thyroid hormone: Feedback loop interrupted on the level of pituitary thyroid hormone receptors.
[22] [23] 3,5-T2 levels were also observed to correlate with concentrations of rT3 (reverse T3) [22] in patients with euthyroid sick syndrome. NTIS is a component of a complex endocrine adaptation process, so affected patients might also have hyperprolactinemia and elevated levels of corticosteroids (especially cortisol ) and growth hormone .
Total triiodothyronine (Total T 3) is rarely measured, having been largely superseded by free T3 tests. Total T3 is generally elevated in hyperthyroidism and decreased in hypothyroidism. [2] Reference ranges depend on the method of analysis. Results should always be interpreted using the range from the laboratory that performed the test.
Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) is a globulin protein encoded by the SERPINA7 gene in humans. TBG binds thyroid hormones in circulation.It is one of three transport proteins (along with transthyretin and serum albumin) responsible for carrying the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T 3) in the bloodstream.
Intuitively, if plasma levels of T 3 fall, there would be a compensatory rise in TSH, the secretion of which is inhibited by T 3. However, because type 2 deiodinase mediates the conversion of T 4 to T 3 within the pituitary and CNS, and because caloric restriction does not affect this enzyme, local T 3 levels in the pituitary are normal.
Liothyronine may be used when there is an impaired conversion of T 4 to T 3 in peripheral tissues. [2] The dose of liothyronine for hypothyroidism is a lower amount than levothyroxine due it being a higher concentrated synthetic medication. [2] About 25 μg of liothyronine is equivalent to 100 μg of levothyroxine. [3]
