Abstract

AbstractA commercial method for the determination of total thyroxine in serum has been studied, and a correlation coefficient of 0.946 between values obtained by the method and values of protein-bound iodine has been found in 100 selected normals and 29 persons with thyroid disease. Free thyroxine has been measured by the method of magnesium precipitation in 100 selected normal persons. A significant sex difference was found, with lower values for women than for men. In 30 persons with thyroid disease the method gave a good distinction between normal and abnormal thyroid state, and normal results were obtained in pregnant women.
