1. Effects of endosulfan, malathion and carbaryl on circulating T4, T3 and T3/T4 ratio in the freshwater catfish, C. batrachus have been studied during reproductively active phases, i.e. vitellogenic and post-vitellogenic phases of its annual reproductive cycle. 2. Endosulfan provoked a significant increase in T4 and a decrease in T3 as well as the T3/T4 ratio. 3. Malathion decreased T3 and T3/...

Q: Consider an uncorrelated (white) Gaussian signal s(t). Calculate its 3rd and 4th order moments, m3 = ⟨s(t1)s(t2)s(t3)⟩ and m4 = ⟨s(t1)s(t2)s(t3)s(t4)⟩. Confirm with simulation. The third moment m3 = ⟨s(t1)s(t2)s(t3)⟩ is zero. Namely, if t1 ̸= t2 ̸= t3 then m3 = ⟨s⟩ = 03 = 0. If t1 = t2 = t3, m3 = ⟨ s3 ⟩ = ́ N (0, σ2)x3dx = 0, as this is the integral over an odd function. For t1 = t2 ̸= t3, m3 = ...

Studies of estradiol and tamoxifen actions to modulate the actions of thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine, T3) in the rat have shown that a subset of estrogen responses require T3 for expression. Also, tamoxifen acts as a partial agonist in estrogen responses that are T3 independent, but acts as a full estrogen agonist in T3-dependent responses. This study examined whether the differing behavior ...

A radioimmunoassay procedure to measure triiodothyronine (T3) in unextracted urine is described. One hundred microliter of T3 standards or samples were incubated with 100 microliter of T3 antiserum (1:40,000), 100 microliter of tracer 125I-T3 and 700 microliter of 0.05 M borate buffer, pH 8.6. Separation of free from bound antigen was achieved by dextran coated charcoal. The cross-reaction of L...

In order to determine the frequency of thyroxine (T4) toxicosis and study the possibility of usefulness for differentiation between thyrotoxic Graves' disease and destructioninduced thyrotoxicosis, the serum concentrations of T4, triiodothyronine(T3), reverse T3 (rT3), and T4-binding globulin (TBG) and the values of T3-uptake and radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) were measured, and free, T4 inde...
