Abstract
The most important iodothyronine secreted by the thyroid gland is 3,5,3’,5’-tetraiodothyronine (thyroxine, T4). Thyroxine has little, if any, biological activity, and is converted to the active hormone par excellence, i.e. 3,5,3’-triiodothyronine (T3). In man about 80% of total plasma T3 production is extrathyroidally converted to T3 (see below), while 20% is secreted by the thyroid gland.
