ABSTRACT
Thyroid function [triiodothyronine(T3), thyroxine(T4), free T3(FT3), free T4(FT4),and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) ] were tested by radioimmunoassay in 56 depressive patients with attempted suicide, 85 patients without suicide attempt and 40 healthy subjects (controls).The serum levels of T3 and FT3 in the patients with attempted suicide were lower than those in the patients without suicide attempt and the controls ( F = 4.937 and 5.01 1, both P < 0.05 ).The lower serum levels of T3 and FT3might be the risk factor of suicide in depressive patients.
