Some young Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients (3-7 years) had total thyroxine (T4) levels and T4 to thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) ratios above the normal range and significantly increased free thyroxine indices (fT4I) which, however, remained within the normal range. Older DMD patients (7-11 years) had T4 and TBG levels and fT4I similar to normal. In both DMD groups the thyroxine binding index (TBI) values were in the normal range.
一些年轻的杜兴氏肌营养不良症（DMD）患者（3至7岁）的总甲状腺素（T4）水平以及T4与甲状腺素结合球蛋白（TBG）的比率高于正常范围，游离甲状腺素指数（fT4I）显著升高，不过仍在正常范围内。年龄较大的DMD患者（7至11岁）的T4、TBG水平和fT4I与正常人相似。在两个DMD组中，甲状腺素结合指数（TBI）值均在正常范围内。
