[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 106403, member: 18023"] I would get the following if I decide to get a full thyroid panel, I would get the following. BTW< I have seen some websites recommend also testing Sex hormone binding globulin, I don't know why. I didn't think SHBG was involved with thyroid hormones. [B]Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)[/B] - Evaluates overall thyroid function [B]Total Thyroxine (T4)[/B] - Measures the total amount of T4 produced by the thyroid gland [B]Free Thyroxine (T4)[/B] - Measures the amount of T4 available to the cells and tissues [B]Free Tri-iodothyronine (T3)[/B] - Measures the amount of T3 (the active form of the hormone) available to the cells and tissues [B]Reverse T3[/B] - Measures the non-functioning form of the active hormone T3 [B]Thyroglobulin antibody (ATA[/B]) - Often measured along with TPO, these antibodies can attack proteins involved in the production of thyroid hormones rendering them dysfunctional [B]Thyroid Peroxidase antibody (TPO)[/B] - Often measured along with ATA, these antibodies can attack proteins involved in the production of thyroid hormones rendering them dysfunctional Any thoughts on why SHBG was sometimes included? Another question, has anyone moved their FT4 from the lower part of the range to the upper, if so, what effect has that had on energy and metabolism? Any side effects? [/QUOTE]
