serum triiodothyronine

Triiodothyronine is a hormone synthesized and secreted by thyroid follicular cells. In addition to synthesis in the thyroid gland, triiodothyronine is mainly converted from thyroxine in peripheral tissues. Although the concentration of triiodothyronine is much lower than that of thyroxine, the biological activity of triiodothyronine is 3 to 5 times higher than that of thyroxine. Triiodothyronine is a specific indicator for the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, and it has important reference value for estimating the recurrence of hyperthyroidism.
