tri-iodothyronine

one of the thyroid hormones; an organic iodine-containing compound liberated from thyroglobulin by hydrolysis. It has several times the biological activity of thyroxine. Called also T₃.

tri-iodothyronine (T₃) suppression test

the difference between the serum levels of T₃ and T₄ before and after oral administration of tri-iodothyronine for two days. With normal thyroid function, there is a marked decrease in T₃ levels, but in hyperthyroidism there is little change. Used in cats when other laboratory indicators are ambiguous.

tri-iodothyronine uptake

the uptake of the compound by red blood cells is used as a measure of thyroid function. Called also T₃ uptake.
