The authors compared the thyroid function of cows with primary ketosis and clinically healthy cows in the same stage of lactation by a method based on the erythrocyte uptake of L triiodothyronine labelled with I. This method (EU) proved to be affected by, among other factors, the content of total protein in the blood plasma, which was lower in ketotic than in normal cows. This caused difficulties in interpretation of the measured EU, but the authors consider that the experiments indicated an elevated thyroid activity in ketosis. The importance of continued research into the probable relation between thyroid function and ketosis is stressed.
作者采用基于红细胞摄取碘标记的L-三碘甲状腺原氨酸的方法，比较了患有原发性酮病的奶牛和处于相同泌乳阶段的临床健康奶牛的甲状腺功能。该方法（红细胞摄取法）被证明受多种因素影响，其中包括血浆总蛋白含量，酮病奶牛的血浆总蛋白含量低于正常奶牛。这给所测红细胞摄取法结果的解读带来了困难，但作者认为实验表明酮病时甲状腺活性升高。强调了继续研究甲状腺功能与酮病之间可能关系的重要性。
