Sažetak
Thyroidal thyroxine (T4), triidotyronine (T3), thyroglobulin (Tg) and T4/T3 ratio were investigated in nodular and paranodular tissue from 16 patients with autonomously functioning thyroid adenomas. The concentration of T4 and T3 in the nodule were 97.7 +/-20.5 (Mean+/-SE) and 10.2+/-2.4 mcg/g wet weight (w.w.). Both iodothyronines were significantly lower in paranodular tissue (22.6+/-4.8 and 1.45+/-0.32 mcg/g w.w., respectively), but with disproportionately decreased T3 which resulted in T4/T3 ratio (25.4+/-6.4) higher than in adenoma tissue (11.2+/-1.6). In patients with high normal or supranormal serum T3 concentration, thyroidal concentration of T3 in adenoma tissue was higher (15.6+/-5.0 vs. 6.3+/- 1.2 mcg/g w.w.) and T4/T3 ratio lower (8.05+/-2.1 vs. 13.2+/-1.9) than in patients with normal serum T3. The results suggest that thyroid release of T3 from adenoma is relatively higher than T4 in patients with autonomously functioning thyroid nodules and increased peripheral T3.
