ABSTRACT
[Objective] To investigate the relationship of thyroid hormones with excess-heat syndrome and deficiency-heat syndrome. [Methods] Serum levels of thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in 30 healthy volunteers (Group A) , 27 cases of excess-heat syndrome (Group B) and 35 cases of deficiency-heat syndrome (Group C) were detected by radioimmunoassay. [Results] Serum levels of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) were higher and reverse T3 (rT3) lower in Group C than those in Group A (P 0.05). [Conclusion] Serum thyroid hormones level in deficiency-heat syndrome is different from that of excess-heat syndrome may be related to the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid function.
