Description

Calculate total step-up deiodinase activity (SPINA-GD) from equilibrium free hormone concentrations.

Usage

estimated.GD(FT4, FT3)

Arguments

FT4

Free thyroxine (FT4) concentration in pmol/L.

FT3

Free triiodothyronine (FT3) concentation in pmol/L

Details

This function is able to do vectorised calculations.

Value

This function returns step-up deiodinase activity as a numeric result representing a single value or a vector, depending on the vector length of the arguments. Results are in nmol/s.

Note

The software functions described in this document are intended for research use only. Hormone levels should have been obtained simultaneously in order to avoid bias by transition effects.

Calculated Thyroid's Secretory Capacity (SPINA-GT)

Description

Calculate thyroid's secretory capacity (SPINA-GT) from equilibrium TSH and total T4 concentrations. This is an alias for estimated.GTT.

Usage

SPINA.GTT(TSH, T4)

Arguments

TSH

Thyrotropin (TSH) concentration in mIU/l

T4

Total thyroxine (TT4) concentration in nmol/L

Details

This function is able to do vectorised calculations.

Value

This function returns thyroid's secretory capacity as a numeric result representing a single value or a vector, depending on the vector length of the arguments. Results are in pmol/s.

Note

The software functions described in this document are intended for research use only. Hormone levels should have been obtained simultaneously in order to avoid bias by transition effects.

Calculated Sum Activity of Step-Up Deiodinases (SPINA-GD) in standardised form

Description

Calculate total step-up deiodinase activity (SPINA-GD) from equilibrium free hormone concentrations in standardised form resulting from z-transformation. This is an alias for estimated.sGD.

Usage

SPINA.sGD(FT4, FT3, mean = 30, sd = 5)

Arguments

FT4

Free thyroxine (FT4) concentration in pmol/L.

FT3

Free triiodothyronine (FT3) concentation in pmol/L

mean

mean value of population sample for standardised (z-transformed) tests

sd

standard deviation of population sample for standardised (ztransformed) tests

Details

This function is able to do vectorised calculations.

Value

This function returns step-up deiodinase activity in standardised form representing a single value or a vector, depending on the vector length of the arguments. Results are z-transformed and therefore without unit of measurement.

Note

The software functions described in this document are intended for research use only. Hormone levels should have been obtained simultaneously in order to avoid bias by transition effects.
