Abstract

ABSTRACT In five healthy adult human male volunteers, treatment with D-thyroxine was followed by an increase in the number of circulating basophil leucocytes. There was no significant changes in the number of circulating eosinophils or the total leucocyte count, and the serum-PBI did not rise significantly. L-Thyroxine, on the other hand, only caused slight changes in the basophil count and a significant rise in serum PBI. It is possible that the basophil leucocytes may be controlled by a balanced action of circulating thyrotrophic and thyroid hormones.
