Serum Proteins in Thyroid Disease

Thyroid Hormone Serum Transport Proteins

Thyroid hormone (TH) effects are dependent on the quantity of the hormone that reaches the tissues, hormone activation and the availability of unaltered TH receptors in the cells nuclei and cytoplasm. Since TH enters the cell unbound, the concentration of free rather than total hormone reflects more accurately the activity level of TH-dependent processes. Under normal conditions, changes in fre...

Serum Magnesium in Thyroid Disease.

Blood was drawn, with anaerobic precautions, from subjects in the post-absorptive state. Ultrafiltrate was obtained from the serum by an anaerobic technique, by means of the capsule of Lavietes (3), modified in that the diameter of the effective membrane surface was increased to 3 cm., the cellophane membranes were dried immediately before using by pressing between smooth filter papers, and the...

Serum total IgG and IgG4 levels in thyroid eye disease

PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between immunoglobulin G (IgG)4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and thyroid eye disease (TED) with respect to IgG levels. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of total IgG, IgG subclass, and thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) levels in 24 patients with TED. RESULTS Five patients (20.8%) demonstrated serum IgG4 levels consistent with IgG4-RD wit...
