As some euthyroid patients have high iodine uptake by the thyroid, an investigation was made to determine if the administration of 1-triiodothyronine causes modifications in iodine uptake which can be used to establish if the thyroid function is normal or pathological. Triiodothyronine was administered to subjects whose rate of iodine capture was high but whose thyroid function was normal, and to hyperthyroid patients. In the euthyroid patient, iodine uptake, 24 hours after the administration of triiodothyronine, was reduced by an average of 33%. The variation of iodine uptake in the hyperthyroid patient was insignificant. The age of the patients has no effect on the variations in the rate of iodine uptake after triiodothyronine administration. (J.S.R.)
