Thyroxine (T4)
 Major product secreted by the thyroid
 Circulates bound to thyroid binding proteins
- thyroid binding globulin (TBG)
 Only a tiny fraction (< 0.1%) is free and diffuses
into tissues
 When we measure T4, we measure the T4 that is
bound to protein
 The level of T4 is therefore largely dependent on
the amount of TBG
 Changes in T4 may reflect TBG variation rather
than underlying pathology
