The free triiodothyronine index (FT3I) was significantly correlated to basal metabolic rate (BMR) in hyperthyroid (r=+0.63, p less than 0.01) and hypothyroid patients (r=+0.61, p less than 0.05). Elimination of the effect of the free thyroxine index (FT4I) on the total correlation between BMR and FT3I by partial correlation analysis gave partial r=+0.60, p less than 0.01 in hyperthyroid patients and partial r=+0.43, p less than 0.1 in hypothyroid patients. The FT4I did not correlate to BMR in either hyper- or hypothyroid patients. These results point to triiodothyronine as the major regulator of BMR in hyper- and hypothyroidism.
在甲状腺功能亢进患者中，游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸指数（FT3I）与基础代谢率（BMR）显著相关（r = +0.63，p < 0.01）；在甲状腺功能减退患者中，二者也显著相关（r = +0.61，p < 0.05）。通过偏相关分析消除游离甲状腺素指数（FT4I）对BMR与FT3I之间总相关性的影响后，在甲状腺功能亢进患者中得到的偏相关系数r = +0.60，p < 0.01；在甲状腺功能减退患者中，偏相关系数r = +0.43，p < 0.1。在甲状腺功能亢进或减退患者中，FT4I与BMR均无相关性。这些结果表明，在甲状腺功能亢进和减退状态下，三碘甲状腺原氨酸是BMR的主要调节因子。
