Thyroxine-Binding Globulin in Infant Protein-Calorie Malnutrition

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1974
ABSTRACT In the acute phase of kwashiorkor, TBG maximal binding capacity for thyroxine is significantly decreased (56.1% of normal, p 7 0.001). As for TBPA and albumin, this finding seems to be mainly the result of reduced biosynthesis, although high cortisol and hGH plasma levels described in protein-calorie malnutrition may be contributory factors ...

Endemic Goiter in the Ueles: A Study of Thyroxine-Binding Proteins

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1965
In endemic goiter of the Ueles (Republic of Congo, Leopoldville) an increase of thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) and a decrease of thyroxine-binding prealbumin (TBPA) were observed. Similar modifications, although much less pronounced with respect to TBPA, were demonstrated in Congolese subjects free from goiter who lived under fairly similar ...

Study of Binding of Thyroxin-Conjugates to the Thyroxin-Binding Proteins

Journal of Immunoassay, 1996
In this work we studied the effects of the molecular weight (M.W.) of thyroxin (T4)-conjugates and the sample dilution factor on the binding potential (C) of serum T4-binding proteins for these T4-conjugates. We prepared six T4-conjugates with great difference in molecular weight with proteins such as IgG, apoferritin, ferritin, transferrin, and ...

THYROXINE BINDING OF PLASMA PROTEINS IN AUTO-IMMUNE THYROIDITIS

Acta Endocrinologica, 1971
ABSTRACT Agar gel electrophoretic studies were performed on 11 patients suffering from auto-immune thyroiditis in order to evaluate the distribution of tracer 125I-thyroxine in plasma proteins as well as their maximal thyroxine binding capacity.

Thyroxine-binding proteins.

Progress in clinical and biological research, 1976
As is the case for most small molecules in the body, the thyroid hormones are involved in interaction with proteins. The present discussion has centered on the hormone-protein interactions which occur in plasma. Although some of this is with proteins which also engage in other binding reactions, at least one protein, TBG, seems to exist only for the ...

THYROXINE BINDING PROTEINS OF HUMAN SERUM AT PHYSIOLOGICAL pH

Acta Endocrinologica, 1969
ABSTRACT The binding characteristics of human TBG, TBPA and TBA of T4 and T3 were studied by agar gel electrophoresis in a variety of buffers. The highest maximal binding capacities of TBG and TBPA were found in Hank's balanced salt solution at pH 7.4. Phosphate and tris maleate ions at this pH resulted in the reduction of the thyroxine maximal

Binding Affinities of Thyroxine-Binding Proteins in Turtle Plasma

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1993
Binding affinities (Ka) for thyroxine (T4) by blood plasma and purified plasma proteins from two turtles, the slider (Trachemys scripta) and snapper (Chelydra serpentina), were compared with those of a human using equilibrium dialysis. The purified T4 binding protein (TBP) from T.

Comparative survey of blood thyroxine binding proteins in turtles

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1991
AbstractThe nature of plasma thyroxine (T4) binding activity was surveyed in turtles; binding to [125I]T4 was measured on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis—PAGE—and on minicolumns of Sephadex G‐25. An electrophoretically distinct T4 binding protein was identified in all 8 species of Pseudemys studied and in 3 other genera (Chrysemys, Deirochelys, and ...
