For each patient, we considered the following explanatory variables: gender, age at inclusion, TSH levels at inclusion, and overt hypothyroidism at inclusion defined as presence of free thyroxine (fT4) levels below the lower reference limit within 4 weeks from inclusion. In addition, we determined...
TOP amino acid calories What is the free T4 TOP 1. Who effectively acts on the body cells modulating the metabolism is the hormone T3. 2. Much of the active T3 is derived from the conversion of T4 into the peripheral tissues. 3. Because more than 99% of T4 is bound to TBG, ultimat...
Low maternal free thyroxine concentrations during early pregnancy are associated with impaired psychomotor development in infancy BACKGROUNDMaternal thyroid function during early pregnancy is an important determinant of early fetal brain development because the fetal thyroid is unable...

In spite of all laboratory work trying to define normalcy on the basis of a single TSH level, it often fails to tell that patients are free of complaints. Many publications refer to this situation of “residual symptoms” in apparently well treated hypothyroid patients. This situation is of re...

Another possible limitation of our study could be the lack of measurement of free thyroid hormone levels. Nonetheless, only central hypothyroidism, which is rather uncommon, might be missed with a screening of the thyroid function based on TSH evaluation [95]. In addition, the behavior of serum...
Increased levels of total and free T3 and an increase in total T4 levels were observed among PTSD war veterans compared to the control group [136,137,138]. In recent population studies where biochemical measurements were taken one year before and one year after an earthquake, an increase in ...
