  2. Thyroxine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroxine

    The final step in thyroxine synthesis involves the free radical mediated coupling of two DIT residues, catalyzed by TPO, to form T 4 while still attached to the Tg backbone. [5] [6] When thyroid hormone is needed, Tg is internalized by thyrocytes, and proteolytic enzymes in lysosomes cleave the T 4 from Tg, allowing for its release into the ...

    Hyperthyroidism (an example is Graves' disease) is the clinical syndrome caused by an excess of circulating free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, or both. It is a common disorder that affects approximately 2% of women and 0.2% of men.

  4. Thyroid function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_function_tests

    Thyroid function tests (TFTs) is a collective term for blood tests used to check the function of the thyroid. [1] TFTs may be requested if a patient is thought to suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), or to monitor the effectiveness of either thyroid-suppression or hormone replacement therapy.

    However, as the two thyroid hormones travel bound to other molecules, and it is the "free" component that is biologically active, free T 3 and free T 4 levels can be measured. [84] T 3 is preferred, because in hypothyroidism T 3 levels may be normal. [84] The ratio of bound to unbound thyroid hormones is known as the thyroid hormone binding ...

  6. Thyroid hormone binding ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_hormone_binding_ratio

    Thyroid hormone binding ratio (THBR) is a thyroid function test that measures the "uptake" of T3 or T4 tracer by thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) in a given serum sample. This provides an indirect and reciprocal estimate of the available binding sites on TBG within the sample.

  8. Levothyroxine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levothyroxine

    T4 is a prohormone; that is, T4 is a precursor to the hormone T3. Whereas T4 is a tetraiodide, T3 is a triiodide, triiodothyronine. The T4 → T3 conversion is mediated by the selenoenzyme iodothyronine deiodinase. T3-thyroxine is a unique example of an iodine compound that is essential for human health.
