Free T3 and free T4 are incredibly important lab tests that all thyroid patients should be aware of. Having said that, is one better than the other? The answer is yes, and it will become obvious as we have this discussion. First: what are free thyroid hormones and why do they matter? Free thyroid hormones differ from other hormones that you can test because they represent the amount of hormone that is free and ready to be used by the body. Because of this, measuring the free concentration of hormones is always the most important and relevant way to measure the activity of any given hormone. Hormones can either transport through your body in the free state or the bound state and, as a thyroid patient, you want to concern yourself with the thyroid hormones which are NOT bound to a protein. Now that you understand the importance of free thyroid hormones, let's talk about free T3 and free T4. What is free T4? Free T4 is the measurement of free and active thyroxine in your bloodstream. Thyroxine, also referred to as T4, is an active thyroid hormone but it's not the MOST active thyroid hormone. T4 is not as powerful as T3 and in order to really be used by the body, your T4 must be converted into T3. Because of this, T4 is good to think about as reservoir hormone instead of an active thyroid hormone. It has the potential to do work but doesn't actually do any work until it is converted. Your thyroid produces much more T4 compared to T3 because of this. T4 is found in thyroid medications like levothyroxine so if you take levothyroxine, your free T4 level should increase. What about free T3? Free t3 represents the measurement of free and active triiodothyronine in your body. T3 is the most powerful thyroid hormone, by far, with estimates putting it as much as 200 to 300 times more biologically active compared to T4. This means if you have the same amount of both T3 and T4, the t3 is going to do 200 to 300 times the work that the same amount of T4 can do.

https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/whats-the-true-cost-of-labsWhy The Cost of Labs Seems So highWhen the largest portion of all bankruptcies in the United States comes from outstanding medical bills, then you know there is a problem inherent in the system. One great example of this is the cost of labs. I would like to give you a solution to lowering the cost of your labs. Looking at one of my own invoices for the cost of labs I had done with Quest Diagnostics (one of the largest diagnostics companies in the nation), you can see I had a wide range of tests done. The total cost came to $1,586.17, and that was just from the first page of the invoice. Breaking it DownBack in 2013, when this invoice was sent to me, the first test (Thyroxine) cost me $140.61. Now it costs me $8. How? Since that I have begun working with a co-op of medical professionals who are trying to drive the cost down. To make that happen, I do not upcharge for labs. Instead, I only charge patients for whatever the lab costs me as the medical professional. That comes out to $8. Similarly, I am now able to get the cost of a $48 down to $5, and a $125 test down to the cost of a Starbucks order. Why Does This Happen?In short, it is because insurance companies are ripping you off, as well as your employer, your doctor, and more. When your doctor bills your insurance, the cost inflates significantly for essentially no reason. What should be $400 in tests becomes $5,000, while your deductibles may be around that number or even higher. The reason an $18 vitamin D test turns into a $270 test on your bill is insurance. How to Lower CostsThe easiest way to lower your lab costs is to work with me. In 2013 my labs cost $805 to run, and now those same labs only cost $54. That is a 93% discount for the same exact tests. Right now the conventional medical system is there to rip you off and keep you sick. Using my polytherapy approach is important to healing, but also helps avoid these outrageous costs of medical care. Remember, where there is help there is hope. 

In today's episode we are joined by Solaine Douglas to explore thyroid health, looking specifically at the key nutrients you need to make your thyroid hormones, the problems with only testing TSH, the challenges inherent the standard intervention of only Thyroxine, autoimmunity, prescribing therapeutic doses of selenium, the benefits and pitfalls of iodine supplementation and so much more.  Head to https://www.stephlowe.com/podcasts/383 for show notes, episode transcripts and more.

f nvironment constitutes the non-living (air, Lwater, land, energy etc.) as well as the living (biological and social) systems surrounding man. Environmental biochemistry primarily deals with the metabolic (biochemical) responses and adaptations in man (or other organisms) due to the environmental factors. A healthy environment is required for a healthy life which is however, not really possible or practicable. This is mainly because of the atmospheric (climatic) changes and environmental pollution. Environmental biochemistry is a very vast subject. The basic concepts regarding the atmospheric changes and environmental oollution on humans are dealt with here. The climatic changes include cold, heat etc. . The body makes every effort to maintain its normal temperature (despite cold and surroundings) for optimal physiological biochemical functions. EXPOSURE TO COLD Short-term exposure to cold causes shivering (mainly due to skeletal muscle) to produce extra heat. Heat is generated by the hydrolysis of ATP' tw,+. g,,:t:t; j,i+'r e "t: 94 r:li:*s;ie Chronic exposure to cold results in non- shivering phase which is characterized by several metabol ic adaPtations. heat and Energy metabolism : Heat generation by a process called chemical thermogenesis occurs in non-shivering phase. The foodstuffs undergo oxidation to generate heat at the expense of growth and other anabolic processes. Elevation in BMR, and increased intake oi foods are observed. Lipid metabolism : Stored fat (triacylglycerol) in the adipose tissue is mobilized to supplyfree fatty acids for oxidation and production of energy. Brown edipose tissue, particularly in neonatal life, significantly contributes to thermogenesis. . Hormonal changes : Thyroxine, a hormone closely associated with energy metabolism, is elevated. Further, corticosteroids are increased on exoosure to cold. EXPOSURE TO HEAT There is a continuous generation of heat by the body due to the ongoing biochemical processes, referred to as metabolic heat. This heat has to be exchanged with the environment to maintain a constant body temperature. On exposure to heat in surroundings, as happens in sLrmmer, the body is subjected to an uncomfortable situation (since temperature of the surroundings is much higher than that of the body). However, heat is still lost from the body through sweating and evaporation. Normally, the body (thermoregulation) gets acclimatized to higher temperature within 3-5 days. Heat stroke : lt is characterized by the failure of the heat regulatory system (thermoregulation) of the body. The manifestations of heat stroke include high body temperature, convulsions, partial (some times total) loss of consciousness. In extreme cases, heat stroke may cause irreversible damage to brain. The treatment for the heat stroke involves rapid cooling of the body. The milder form of heat stroke is referred to as heat syncope. Although the body temperature is not raised much in this condition, the blood pressure falls and the person may collapse suddenly. Heat syncope is easily reversible. Environmental pollution may be regarded as the addition of extraneous (foreign) materials to air, water or land which adversely affects the quality of life. Pollution may be caused by physical, chemical or biological processes. The term pollutant refers to a substance which increases in quantity due to human activity and adversely affects the environment (e.9. carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, lead). A substance which is not present in nature but released during human activity is the contaminant (e.g. methyl isocyanate, DDT, malathion). A contaminant however, is regarded as a pollutant when it exerts detrimental effects. Environmental pollution may be considered in different ways-industrial pollution; agricultural pollution; pollution due to gaseous wastes, liquid wastes and solid wastes.

Summary ~ Thyroid hormones can be altered by physical or emotional stress ~ Thyroid hormones via the HPT axis are intertwined with the HPA-Axis –dysfunction in one produces dysfunction in the other ~ Many cognitive, affective and behavioral symptoms commonly seen in behavioral health settings may have some underpinnings in thyroid dysfunction ~ Mental health clinicians can educate patients about the far-reaching impact of thyroid hormones; help them address cognitive and emotional stress and trauma and address sleep and circadian rhythms.

For more information on this topic or to schedule a consultation please visit us at http://WhatIsHashimotos.com But apply roiterrying which is Hashimoto's and iodine or even thyroid and iodine, I guess we could get into that a little bit. When people come in here, historically, since I've been doing thyroid, people come in and they're taking Thyroxine, and they're taking selenium, and they're taking on many, many, many, many were, and still several come in are taking iodine. It's sorta like traditional in the alternative world to give people this and in the past it probably had more application than it has now. Now it has almost no application as far as taking iodine, but if you have Hashimoto's, taking iodine is like pouring gasoline on the fire. For all the iodine fans out there, let me explain. The reason that iodine is popular is because if you understand what the components are of thyroid hormone, then you understand that the T stands for Thyroxine in the T4, T4 is the main thyroid hormone that's made by your thyroid and T3 is ultimately converted from T4. But the fours and the threes in those little formulas are iodine molecules. It probably made sense at one point in time that if a person had low thyroid, you would give them iodine so that they can make more T4. The problem is, we don't have a lack of iodine in this country. A lot of people have pointed to third world countries and saying, well, they don't have enough iodine and people give them iodine and their thyroids get better, but that's not what the study show. In fact, they're showing that as they introduce iodized salt into third world countries, that the amount of Hashimoto's and goiters is skyrocketing. I use that term because I just read something on this past weekend and I read a number of studies on that. Skyrocketing was the term that was used in that research study. Basically, Hashimoto's thyroiditis has a uniqueness that you have something called a thyroid peroxidase enzyme. That is the test you run to determine whether a person has Hashimoto's or not, that thyroid peroxidase enzyme. For those of you know the science I'm vastly simplifying this. The thyroid peroxidase enzyme essentially has a lot to do with pulling iodine out of the system, out of the bloodstream, bringing it into the follicular cells and there's cells in your thyroid that make the thyroid hormone. Then it puts it together with the thyroxine and it literally is the catalyst to make thyroid. So let me step back to the thyroid peroxidase enzyme is what we measure in order to figure out if a person has Hashimoto's. What happens is, if a person has thyroid peroxidase enzymes, these enzymes are what tag the thyroid tissue to tell your immune system to come and attack it. If you increase iodine, then that activates more thyroid peroxidase enzyme, it actually causes your body to make more thyroid peroxidase enzyme. Very simply those anti TPO antibodies, they're called the thyroid peroxidase enzyme anyway, start attacking your thyroid more because there's more of them and you end up getting more of an attack. . If you have tested positive for thyroid peroxidase enzyme antibodies, iodine is totally contraindicated. You know to go back to, maybe it seems like this thyroid condition, Hashimoto's really exploded about 30 years ago. http://powerhealthtalk.com http://powerhealthreno.com Martin P.

This quick episode looks at Graves Disease, Hasimoto's, and Goitre.  I touch on the T#/T$ hormones and tips for Thyroxine medication

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Sacha: Hello! I wanted to reach out for my father who has been dealing with some serious health issues which haven't been properly diagnosed. He began having cardiac issues years ago, however in the last few years has had significant weight loss, impaired memory, slow movements, fatigue, foggy brain, digestion issues, visual impairments in which he recently had cataract surgery which we are now finding out went wrong and there are calcium deposits. Along with all these issues he also has resting tremors in his hands and lips. He's been to numerous dr's, specialists and all can't seem to properly diagnose him. His testosterone and free test. labs are extremely low, and his cortisol was only taken fasted in the am so I am unsure about those results. I am in desperate need of a functional medicine dr to see him asap and I wanted to know what if it would be possible to bring him to the clinic or if you could refer someone in NJ/NYC. I suspect that he has heavy metal toxicity as well as gut/digestion issues. Please let me know if you could assist us with his case as I do not want to take him to a random functional medicine practitioner. Best, Sacha Tom: Do you take insurance or can I use a HSA account for payment. I am interested in going to functional medical provider. Thank you Laimute: Hello, I would like to ask you about rheumatoid arthritis. My mum has rheumatoid arthritis for many years. A year ago she gave up with meat, dairy products, white flour, sugar. I'm going to take her to India for 15 days panchakarma treatment as I've heard that it would help her to get rid of toxins that causes arthritis followed by a natural ayurvedic medicines for up to a year. My question is what is the different between panchakarma and Dr. Cabral detox as both of them clean toxins from the body? Also would you suggest anything else to add to treat rheumatoid arthritis along with panchakarma treatment Many thanks Elizabeth: Hi, thank you for all the information you are providing me in your podcast. I have a question about life after thyroidectomy. I had Graves’ disease a decade ago followed by thyroidectomy. A biopsy of the thyroid showed that it was cancerous. The surgeon shrugged, and said “no big deal”. I was then put on Thyroxine, because I now have hypothyroidism, which only replaces T4. I am wondering if T3 should also be replaced. I have talked about it with my endocrinologist a couple times, and she feels like this would be “speed“ for my system, therefore does not think it would be appropriate. I think her reasoning for not putting me on T3 is the arrhythmias I continue to experience status post thyroidectomy. I am using magnesium oil, and have been using it regularly for at least the last six months at bed time without noticeable change in the arrhythmias. So my questions are these, in your opinion should I talk to my physician again about replacing T3, and is there any specific dietary recommendations you have for someone who has had a thyroidectomy, or should I just follow recommendations for someone with hypothyroidism?  John: Dear Dr. Cabral and Staff: I would like to work with your firm in whatever capacity we ultimately deem appropriate. That is my question, where do I start? I was contemplating starting with testing but in the end I am ultimately willing to enroll in a full service "Concierge" approach. My known issues are these: I have been clinically diagnosed as suffering from minor depression (one Dr. called it dysthymia), I have been diagnosed as having adult ADD, I suffer from fatigue and have trouble sleeping. My version or view of it is that I have a hard time focusing, I constantly have fatigue, I suffer from anxiety or depression and I do not sleep well. I must add that I am a 55 Year Old Male, Married, am a Self-Employed C.P.A that is on the run all the time. So, which tests do I start with? The Big Five? Do I go through a different process? Thanks for your direction. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, John Andrew: Hello Dr C, I listened to your interview on the Ben Greenfield podcast and was perusing your site - really cool as I am in your neck of the woods.... I am curious if you have studied any of the following training programs/systems:NeuroMass by Jon Bruney, Body by Science - Doug Mcguff, X3 Bar - Dr. John Jaquish If not I will do my best to encapsulate so I can get to my questions. I like all these because they allow for a very good, all-around, strength with conditioning workout in minimal time and with little or no equipment. Though Body by Science is usually done with specific workout machines, there are supposed versions online done with bodyweight. You may know Body by Science promotes a single super-slowly executed multi-set workout of high intensity across several exercises maybe once per week. Key is time under tension. NeuroMass packages similar super-slow sets with a dyanmic/power set and isometric set. Neuromass says to do these 4x/week but can adjust to more like 2x per week. Interestingly 2x Realfit champion Alex Fergus used a version of this just 1x/week with 1 set of each exercise to win Realfit. The X3 bar is a product that promises great increase in muscle mass with just 10 minutes daily based on the benefits of variable force using high strength rubber bands.My goals are to build functional strength for longevity in an efficient way without needing lots of equipment. I guess the idea would be to work on type iib muscle fiber.I like the idea of serious-training as little as once a week, provided you are getting movement in on other days and other lighter exercise, perhaps an occasional HIIT workout. Intuitively the idea of combining slow, fast and iso exercise would seem to perhaps most comprehensively train the body, but I am not sure if there is evidence to support. The X3 bar seems to have some studies that show its method greatly increases muscle. I am a little concerned that daily training might be too much (even if body focus changes between workouts) and also the possibility that the workout increases IGF (? not sure if it does) may negatively correlate to overall longevity. Maybe all work in there own way? Thoughts?

NP Thyroid is a form of natural desiccated thyroid hormone which is similar but different than Armour thyroid. Both medications contain the same active ingredients but they differ in the inactive ingredients. This small difference can greatly impact how you feel when you use or take these medications. Armour thyroid contains the following ingredients: Triiodothyronine (active ingredient) Thyroxine (active ingredient) Calcium stearate Dextrose Microcrystalline cellulose (May cause reactions in some people Sodium starch glycolate Opadry white Minor amounts of calcitonin, T1, T2, and proteins NP thyroid contains the following ingredients: Triiodothyronine (active ingredient) Thyroxine (active ingredient) Calcium stearate Dextrose monohydrate Maltodextrin Mineral oil Minor amounts of calcitonin, T1, T2, and proteins You can see from the list that NP thyroid has slightly fewer ingredients and may be better tolerated for some people. In addition, NP thyroid is also cheaper when compared to Armour thyroid.

Your thyroid produces T4 and T3 thyroid hormones, but each is different in how it works and functions. Understanding how these hormones function will help you understand how your thyroid works and if you are taking the right medication, T3 is the most powerful thyroid hormone and it is known as triiodothyronine, but the majority of hypothyroid patients take a medication known as Thyroxine which contains T4 only thyroid hormone. In order for T4 to become activated, it must be converted to T3 through various enzymes in the body. Learn more about how these hormones function, how they convert and what kind of problems can cause this conversion process to slow. Hey guys!

In this episode Dr. Bernet describes that Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that usually progresses slowly and often leads to low thyroid hormone levels — a condition called hypothyroidism. The best therapy for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is to normalize thyroid hormone levels with medication. A balanced diet and other healthy lifestyle choices may help when you have Hashimoto’s, but a specific diet alone is unlikely to reverse the changes caused by the disease. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis develops when your body’s immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid. It’s not clear why this happens. Some research seems to indicate that a virus or bacterium might trigger the immune response. It’s possible that a genetic predisposition also may be involved in the development of this autoimmune disorder. A chronic condition that develops over time, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis damages the thyroid and eventually can cause hypothyroidism. That means your thyroid no longer produces enough of the hormones it usually makes. If that happens, it can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, sluggishness, constipation, unexplained weight gain, increased sensitivity to cold, joint pain or stiffness, and muscle weakness. If you have symptoms of hypothyroidism, the most effective way to control them is to take a hormone replacement. That typically involves daily use of a synthetic thyroid hormone called levothyroxine that you take as an oral medication. It is identical to thyroxine, the natural version of a hormone made by your thyroid gland. The medication restores your hormone levels to normal and eliminates hypothyroidism symptoms. You may hear about products that contain a form of thyroid hormones derived from animals. They often are marketed as being natural. Because they are from animals, however, they aren’t natural to the human body, and they potentially can cause health problems. The American Thyroid Association’s hypothyroidism guidelines recommend against using these products as a first-line treatment for hypothyroidism. Although hormone replacement therapy is effective at controlling symptoms of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, it is not a cure. You need to keep taking the medication to keep symptoms at bay. Treatment is usually lifelong. To make sure you get the right amount of hormone replacement for your body, you must have your hormone levels checked with a blood test once or twice a year. If symptoms linger despite hormone replacement therapy, you may need to have the dose of medication you take each day adjusted. If symptoms persist despite evidence of adequate hormone replacement therapy, it’s possible those symptoms could be a result of something other than Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Talk to your health care provider about any bothersome symptoms you have while taking hormone replacement therapy. Victor J.

In this interview, Dr. Hennessey describes the history, refinements, implementation, physiology, and clinical outcomes achieved over the past several centuries of thyroid hormone replacement strategies. Topics discussed in this episode include: The history of levothyroxin Chinese using thyroid hormone to treat cretinism in the 6th century What is cretinism? Dangers of hypothyroidism during pregnancy Prescribed 3-step process when hypothyroidism is treated when pregnant The history of sheep thyroid as a treatment? In the 1920’s thyroid hormone was synthesized T3 was synthesized in the 1950’s When to take thyroid medication, morning or night? A rich history of physician intervention in thyroid dysfunction was identified dating back more than 2 millennia. Although not precisely documented, thyroid ingestion from animal sources had been used for centuries but was finally scientifically described and documented in Europe over 130 years ago. Since the reports by Bettencourt and Murray, there has been a continuous documentation of outcomes, refinement of hormone preparation production, and updating of recommendations for the most effective and safe use of these hormones for relieving the symptoms of hypothyroidism. As the thyroid extract preparations contain both levothyroxine (LT4) and liothyronine (LT3), current guidelines do not endorse their use as controlled studies do not clearly document enhanced objective outcomes compared with LT4 monotherapy. Among current issues cited, the optimum ratio of LT4 to LT3 has yet to be determined, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not appear to be monitoring the thyroid hormone ratios or content in extract preparations on the market. Taken together, these limitations are important detriments to the use of thyroid extract products. James V.

You have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and contrary to your doctor's advice, you choose to not proceed with surgery.  Is this a patient trend, and how often are patients making this decision? In a qualitative analysis, Dr. Louise Davies reports on the experience of US patients who self-identify as having an over-diagnosed thyroid cancer. How likely is death as result of thyroid cancer?  In a study by H. Harach, he sites that when reviewing random autopsies, thyroid cancer was prevalent in 34% of the cadavers.   Dr. Davies states, if diagnosed with thyroid cancer, important questions to ask, include: How big is the tumor? How was the tumor discovered? Are there any symptoms? Dr. Davies says those who choose to opt for no surgery are sometimes called stupid by those who know them, and end up feeling isolated and anxious, with little or no support.   Louise Davies, MD, MS, FACS is an Associate Professor at Geisel School of Medicine and Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice (TDI).

Dr Mark Porter explores Dementia Challenge - the Department of Health's much publicised campaign to improve dementia care, including a new scheme to test everyone over 75 who's admitted to hospital for signs of the condition. Will this lead to overdiagnosis or will it get people treated early? And prescribing sleeping tablets for those unable to rest on a noisy hospital ward may seem like a quick fix but there is strong evidence that they are linked to side effects including an increase in falls. Mark Porter investigates and finds some simple solutions to getting a good night's kip in hospital. Plus a leading expert on the thyroid gland answers a listener's concerns about the use of the hormone thyroxine.

Studies on the effect of rare earth elements as growth promoter in pigs In China, rare earth elements were used in agriculture already for some decades. Rare earth elements are 17 elements which include scandium, yttrium, lanthanum and the 14 lanthanides. They were used as fertilizer in plant production and as growth promoters in animal production. Spectacular improvement of the fattening parameter daily body weight gain and feed conversion ratio of pigs were reported in the Chinese literature. In previous experiments of our working group the growth promoting effect of the rare earth elements has been proven for pigs under western feeding and housing conditions. In this thesis two feeding experiments with fattening pigs and a field trial with weaned piglets are described. In the first experiment a total of 48 pigs (German Landrace x Piétrain) were allotted to four dietary groups, 12 pigs in each group. The animals received a mixture of rare earth elements in a concentration of 0 or 300 ppm rsp. or pure lanthanum chloride and cerium chloride in a concentration of 100 ppm LaCl3 and 200 ppm CeCl3 or 200 ppm LaCl3 and 100 ppm CeCl3. Because of a disease this first study had to end ahead of schedule. In the second trial the design of the trial was the same as in the first one. During the 12 weeks of this experiment the pigs received feed, supplemented with the above described concentration of rare earth elements. The daily body weight gain in the REE group during the study period was 4 to 5 % better than in the control group, where there was no influence on the feed conversion rate. The accumulation of the lanthanides in the muscle and the liver was very low as shown in the experiments before. The analysis were made by ICP-mass spectrometry. In the serum, the levels of triiodothyronine and thyroxine were lower in the groups receiving the rare earth elements than in the control group. Thyroxine in the groups with 300 ppm REE mixture and with 100 ppm LaCl3 and 200 ppm CeCl3 was significantly lower than in the control group. In a field trial with piglets of the race Swiss Edelschwein the growth promoting effect of rare earth elements was proved by two experiments. The animals were fed with a commercial feed supplemented with a mixture of rare earth elements in a concentration of 0 rsp. 200 ppm. In the first trial for 16 days body weight gain and feed conversion ratio of the group with 200 ppm REE mixture improved by 3 % rsp. 9 % as compared to the controls. The second field trial lasted for 30 days and here, the group supplemented with 200 ppm REE mixture gained by 10 % more weight than the control group. The feed conversion ratio improved by 2 %. These results showed for the first time, that rare earth elements are able to improve the performance of the piglets under field conditions.

Preparations of T4-binding globulin (TBG) from human serum was performed using only two affinity chromatography steps. Purity of the protein was demonstrated by a single band in overloaded disc and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, equimolar binding to T4, and linearity in sedimentation velocity run. The molecular weight was calculated to be 60,000 +/- 3,000 daltons (n = 3), the sedimentation coefficient was 3.95S, and the Stokes' radius was 37 A. The amino acid composition was found to be in good agreement with the calculations of other authors. By isoelectric focussing (IEF), pure TBG showed four main bands at pH 4.25, 4.35, 4.45, and 4.55 together with several fainter bands. The N- acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) content of the four TBG bands isolated by preparative IEF was found to decrease from 10.2 mol NANA/mol TBG in the band at pH 4.25 to 4.8 mol NANA/mol TBG in the band at pH 4.55. No significant difference in the affinity constants of the TBG bands to T4 was found. The affinity constants for TBG ranged from 3.1 x 10(9) to 7.2 x 10(9) M-1. Sequential kinetic desialylation of pure TBG resulted in a progressive tendency toward one major band at pH 6.0. In native sera, microheterogeneity of TBG was detected after IEF on polyacrylamide gel plates by immunofixation. The typical TBG patterns shown by pure TBG were also found in normal subjects. Characteristic deviations from this pattern were found in the sera of females during estrogen therapy or pregnancy, where there was a gradual increase in density of the band at pH 4.25 and the appearance of an additional band at pH 4.15. In sera from patients with liver disease and elevated TBG levels, there was a fading of the acidic bands, whereas the more alkaline band at pH 4.55 was intensified. It is therefore proposed that microheterogeneity of TBG is caused by differences in NANA content and that variations of TBG patterns in native sera may reflect altered TBG synthesis or degradation. A genetically related microheterogeneity of TBG could not be demonstrated after examination of 800 sera, including 2 families with quantitative TBG deficiency.
