Magnus THYROID LIOTHYRONINE (T3)

Thyroid Liothyronine (T3)

T3 is a biologically active form of thyroid hormones. From 1/3 to 1/5 of the total amount of thyroid hormones produced by the thyroid gland enters the bloodstream immediately in the form of triiodothyronine. The remaining 2 / 3-4 / 5 enters the blood in the form of biologically inactive thyroxine, which is actually a prohormone. But in peripheral tissues thyroxine by means of metalloenzymes selenium-dependent monodeiodinase is deiodinated, converted to triiodothyronine.
