A new method for the bioassay of thyroid stimulating hormone using goldfish is described. The technique can detect thyroid stimulating substances in euthyroid unconcentrated plasma. Early results show that the method compares well with other techniques. Some evidence has been obtained which suggests that in primary myxoedema there may be some impairment of the thyropituitary "servo-mechanism" in older patients.
本文描述了一种使用金鱼进行促甲状腺激素生物测定的新方法。该技术可检测甲状腺功能正常的未浓缩血浆中的促甲状腺物质。早期结果表明,该方法与其他技术相比效果良好。已获得一些证据,表明在原发性黏液性水肿中,老年患者的甲状腺-垂体“伺服机制”可能存在某些损害。
