Abstract | [Summary] Serum thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) was measured with a radioimmunoassay (RIA) Kit (RIA-gnost TBG). The TBG concentration in 19 adult normals was 19.7+-1.9 μg/ml (mean+-SD). The serum TBG levels of 18.1+-3.5 μg/ml in hyperthyroidism, 22.8+-4.9 μg/ml in subacute thyroiditis, 20.3+-7.0 μg/ml in liver cirrhosis and 15.3+-3.7 μg/ml in sick patients were not significantly different from normals. The levels of 23.3+-2.7 μg/ml in hypothyroidism (p<0.01), 46.2+-6.1 μg/ml in pregnancy (p<0.001) and 34.5+-6.1 μg/ml in molar pregnancy (p<0.01) were significantly higher (p<0.01) than that in normals. The levels of 0.4+-0.4 μg/ml in TBG deficiency was significantly lower (p<0.01) than that in normals. The serum TBG level by RIA correlated well with the maximum binding capacity of serum TBG for thyroxine (TBG capacity) (r=0.967). In various cases without thyroid diseases (euthyroid group), the TBG concentration correlated with the value for Res-O-Mat T3 (r=0.948), though there was a curvilinear relationship. This relationship was altered in hyperthyroidism, subacute thyroiditis and molar pregnancy in which sera were overloaded with thyroxine (T4) so that concentrations of unoccupied binding sites on TBG (free TBG concentration) were more decreased than expected from normal TBG concentrations. Hypothyroidism was also separated from the curvilinear relationship in euthyroid group indicating that free TBG concentrations were more increased relative to slightly increased TBG concentrations. Comparisons of various indices for free T4 with the free T4 concentration as measured with equilibrium dialysis revealed that T4/free TBG correlated best with the free T4 concentration (r=0.963) and that T4/Res-O-Mat T3 value (r= 0.951) correlated better than T4/TBG (r=0.937) with the free T4 concentration. Measurement of the TBG concentration was considered useful in the diagnosis of TBG deficiency, in differentiating molar pregnancy from Graves' disease and for correct understanding the hormone-binding in liver diseases and other non-thyroidal illness. |
