A semiautomatic procedure is presented for the separate determination of total T3 and T4 in serum in approximately 10 hrs simultaneously in 25 samples. Removal of the thyroid hormones from the serum, separation of T3 from T4 and concentration of the peaks were achieved in a closed system, consisting of three consecutive columns. The automatic microchemical iodine determination of T3 and T4 resp...

The Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal protein P10, the product of the str gene, known to be involved only in the initiation of protein syntehsis, is required for all bacteriophage T4 protein synthesis.

OBJECTIVE To report eight case histories, and in vivo and in vitro studies showing coffee's potential to impair thyroxine (T4) intestinal absorption. DESIGN Of eight women with inappropriately high or nonsuppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) when T4 was swallowed with coffee/espresso, six consented to the evaluation of their T4 intestinal absorption. This in vivo test was also administ...

Rutberg, Blanka (Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden), and Lars Rutberg. Role of superinfecting phage in lysis inhibition with phage T4 in Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 90:891-894. 1965.-The ability of bacteriophage T4 to induce lysis inhibition upon superinfection was investigated after various treatments of the phage. This ability was found not to be a property of the external protein ...

We have previously reported that there is a poor correlation between increase in the levels of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, UGT1A1 and UGT1A6, and decrease in the levels of serum total thyroxine (T4) and free T4 in phenobarbital (PB)-treated rats, although the PB-induced decrease in rats is generally thought to occur through induction of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (T4-UDP-GT: UGT1A1 and U...

UNLABELLED The standard treatment of hypothyroidism (central and primary) consists of thyroxine (T4) administration alone. However, the normal thyroid gland produces a small proportion of triiodothyronine (T3) directly into the circulation. AIM We aimed to study the free T3 to free T4 ratio in treated central hypothyroidism compared with euthyroidism and treated primary hypothyroidism. METH...

BACKGROUND Different techniques of video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy have been suggested to control the symptoms of axillary hyperhidrosis. We compared the results using two different levels of ganglion resection for treating axillary hyperhidrosis: T3/T4 vs. T4. MATERIALS AND METHODS From a group of 1119 patients operated on between July 2000 and January 2005, 276 patients with axillary ...

In bacteriophage T4 the protein product of gene 43 (gp43) is a multifunctional DNA polymerase that is essential for replication of the phage genome. The protein harbors DNA-binding, deoxyribonucleotide-binding, DNA-synthesizing (polymerase) and 3'-exonucleolytic (editing) activities as well as a capacity to interact with several other T4-induced replication enzymes. In addition, the T4 gp43 is ...
