The aim of this research was to obtain basic values for the evaluation of thyroid function in nondomestic felids. Serum thyroid hormone concentrations (thyroxine, T4; triiodothyronine, T3) were measured by radioimmunoassay in 145 cats, representing nine species of captive nondomestic felids: jaguar (Panthera onca), n = 49; puma (Puma concolor), n = 10; ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), n = 22; oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), n = 12; geoffroy (Oncifelis geoffroyi), n = 4; jaguarundi (Herpailurus yaguarondi), n = 8; margay (Leopardus wiedii), n = 7; lion (Panthera leo), n = 26; and tiger (Panthera tigris), n = 7. For each species, mean +/- SEM of T3 and T4, respectively, were as follows: jaguar, 0.56 +/- 0.03 and 9.7 +/- 0.8 ng/ml; puma, 0.67 +/- 0.04 and 11.2 +/- 1.2 ng/ml; ocelot, 0.48 +/- 0.03 and 13.8 +/- 1.5 ng/ml; oncilla, 0.43 +/- 0.03 and 10.0 +/- 1.6 ng/ml; geoffroy, 0.44 +/- 0.04 and 8.0 +/- 0.16 ng/ml; jaguarundi, 0.7 +/- 0.03 and 5.0 +/- 1.0 ng/ml; margay, 0.48 +/- 0.04 and 12.2 +/- 2.3 ng/ml; lion, 0.43 +/- 0.02 and 5.7 +/- 2.6 ng/ml; and tiger, 0.66 +/- 0.03 and 12.6 +/- 0.9 ng/ml. Within species, T3 and T4 concentrations did not differ (P > 0.05) between males and females.
本研究的目的是获取用于评估非家养猫科动物甲状腺功能的基础值。通过放射免疫分析法对145只猫的血清甲状腺激素浓度（甲状腺素，T4；三碘甲状腺原氨酸，T3）进行了测量，这些猫代表了9种圈养的非家养猫科动物：美洲豹（Panthera onca），n = 49；美洲狮（Puma concolor），n = 10；豹猫（Leopardus pardalis），n = 22；小斑虎猫（Leopardus tigrinus），n = 12；乔氏猫（Oncifelis geoffroyi），n = 4；美洲草原猫（Herpailurus yaguarondi），n = 8；长尾虎猫（Leopardus wiedii），n = 7；狮子（Panthera leo），n = 26；以及老虎（Panthera tigris），n = 7。对于每个物种，T3和T4的平均值±标准误分别如下：美洲豹，0.56±0.03和9.7±0.8 ng/ml；美洲狮，0.67±0.04和11.2±1.2 ng/ml；豹猫，0.48±0.03和13.8±1.5 ng/ml；小斑虎猫，0.43±0.03和10.0±1.6 ng/ml；乔氏猫，0.44±0.04和8.0±0.16 ng/ml；美洲草原猫，0.7±0.03和5.0±1.0 ng/ml；长尾虎猫，0.48±0.04和12.2±2.3 ng/ml；狮子，0.43±0.02和5.7±2.6 ng/ml；以及老虎，0.66±0.03和12.6±0.9 ng/ml。在每个物种内，雄性和雌性之间的T3和T4浓度没有差异（P>0.05）。
