Measures free thyroxine (T4) available for conversion to T3 5.0 7 Reviews|Write a review This test is used to assess your thyroid hormone production. When T4 is released from the proteins that bind and carry it in the blood, it is free to convert to the more active thyroid hormone T3....
As the precursor to T3, this hormone isn’t what we could call “functionally” active within the body – that is to say, it’s a hormone predecessor as opposed to being a means of directly intervening in the metabolism itself. Theconversion processto transform T4 into T3 takes place as ...
Eat plenty of foods with selenium (these include eggs, tuna, and legumes) as well as zinc (this includes shellfish, chicken, and whole grains), as both of these minerals help to support the conversion of T4 into T3. Tuna can also support thyroid function due to its high amount of the...

The ability to control cell division and differentiation, root growth, leaf senescence, apical dominance, branching, flower and seed development as well as germination and nutrients uptake into sink organs defines CKs as essential regulatory substances in plants [6]. Chemically, CKs are derivatives of...
