Blind hamsters had no alteration of the dialyzable fraction of serum thyroxine (T4) but had depressed total and free T4 concentrations compared to controls. Prevention of the effects of blinding by pinealectomy indicates pineal influence on circulating free T4 concentration. Parallel changes in free T4 and the free T4 index indicate adequacy of the index in representing pineal-induced changes in free T4.
失明仓鼠的血清甲状腺素(T4)可透析部分没有变化,但与对照组相比,其总T4和游离T4浓度降低。松果体切除可预防失明的影响,这表明松果体对循环游离T4浓度有影响。游离T4和游离T4指数的平行变化表明该指数足以代表松果体诱导的游离T4变化。
