Test Information 

Triiodothyronine (T3) is a thyroid hormone, the biological activity of which is 3-5 times greater than the activity of thyroxine (T4). 

Some amount of triiodothyronine is synthesized in the thyroid gland, but mainly it is formed during deiodination of thyroxine outside it. 

Most of the triiodothyronine circulating in the blood is bound to plasma proteins, in particular to thyroxine-binding globulin, thyroxine-binding prealbumin, and albumin. The portion of triiodothyronine that remains (less than 1%) is the biologically active (free) fraction. 

Triiodothyronine regulates the rate of oxygen consumption by tissues, stimulates protein synthesis, gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis (which leads to an increase in the concentration of glucose in the blood), lipolysis, intestinal motor function, enhances the catabolism and removal of cholesterol from bile, promotes the synthesis of vitamin A and the absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestine, bone growth, production of sex hormones. 

Children need this hormone for the growth and development of the central nervous system.
