[Salivary thyroid hormones in evaluation of the functional state of the hypophyseal-thyroid system].
Thyrotropic hormone (TTH), total thyroxin (TT4), total triiodothyronine (TT3), free thyroxin (FT4), and free triiodothyroxine (FT3) were measured in the serum and oral liquid of clinically healthy subjects and patients with hypo- and hyperthyrosis. A relationship between hormone concentrations in the serum and oral liquid and the function of the pituitary-thyroid system was revealed. FT4, FT3, and TTH concentrations in the serum and oral fluid were in high correlation. This is regarded as an evidence of possible recretory origin of these hormones in the saliva.
