[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 99869, member: 696"] Rhino, there's a lot going on, and some great comments from the community! With the test 'blast' in the time frame of these labs, it definitely raises a few thoughts with wondering how that also could impact other labs (?). Just to confirm, was it only those compounds or was anything else in the mix, i.e deca, anavar, etc. It's no biggie, just trying to see the whole picture. Regardless, the body will start reacting (in time) when imbalances are sustained. Just wondering how the picture, including adrenals would look 6 weeks or so after returning to a normal regiment? On the thyroid ... Some really good comments, Orrin, Ratbag and 1Draw are quite knowledgeable on this subject. On the RT3, IMO it's high, and I would suspect it is a marker that is reflecting other things going on, similar in contrast to the cortisol 4x panel. As indicated above, RT3 can increase during times of sickness, stress, pathology, etc. Increasing RT3 is the body's way to conserve energy while things work to get back in balance. FT4 and FT3 would in my opinion (for most) be optimal in the 50% to 80% area of reference range. Yours are both under the 50%. Obviously if on a T3 medication, then T4 would reflect a lower value. Again, this would be my thoughts when things are optimal, and additionally RT3 would reflect in lower serum levels, and also in a FT3/RT3 ratio analysis (keep in mind that also can be a bit trivial if taking T3 only, with no T4).
