Validation of Immunoassays for Total Thyroxine and Free Thyroxine and Age and Sex-Related Variation in Thyroid Hormone Serum Concentrations in Orangutans (Pongo sp.). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Thyroid disease is reported in orangutans, but to properly diagnose and manage these disorders, reference intervals for circulating thyroid hormones are needed. Methods Commercial immunoassay kits for total thyroxine (TT4) and free thyroxine (FT4) were validated for use in orangutans (Pongo spp.).

RXR Gamma Enables Oligodendrocyte Differentiation by Suppressing Sonic Hedgehog Signaling. [PDF]
Using pharmacogenetic approaches, Baldassarro et al. demonstrate that RXRγ suppresses the SHH signaling pathway in OPCs to ensure their efficient differentiation following T3 stimulation. Accordingly, Rxrg−/− OPCs displayed compromised differentiation which was normalized by the pharmacological inhibition of the hyperactive SHH pathway.

Triiodothyronine and free thyroxine levels are differentially associated with metabolic profile and adiposity-related cardiovascular risk markers in euthyroid middle-aged subjects [PDF]
Background: We previously showed that in healthy young men a less favorable body composition is associated with higher FT3 levels within the euthyroid range.

Triiodothyronine (T3), inflammation and mortality risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Objectives: To study the relationship between serum-free T3 (FT3), C-reactive protein (CRP) and all-cause mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Design: Prospective multicentre longitudinal cohort study.

Radioimmunoassay of Triiodothyronine
Immunization of rabbits with triiodothyronine-methyl ester hydrochloride conjugated to bovine serum albumin resulted in the production of antibody against triiodothyronine. Using dextran-coated charcoal technique, a practically useful and specific radioimmimoassay method for triiodothyronine was developed.

Thyroid thermogenesis in adult rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture: direct action of thyroid hormone in vitro. [PDF]
We have studied the effect of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) on the respiration of adult rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture prepared from hypothyroid rat liver. After addition of T3 to the culture medium at a concentration of 2 x 10(-7) M, oxygen
