[Effect of ultraviolet irradiation of human blood on serum concentration of triiodothyronine and thyroxine].
Seasonal features of the contents of thyroxine and triiodo-thyronine in the blood of healthy subjects before and after ultra-violet irradiation (lambda = 254) were studied in experiments in vitro. Ultra-violet irradiation of the blood has been established to lead to a significant increase in triiodo-thyronine content in the serum, especially in winter. Possible mechanisms and the role of seasonal features of the contents of triiodothyronine in the human blood as well as sensitivity to ultra-violet irradiation in vitro have being discussed.
