Popis: OBJECTIVE: Liver handling of thyroid hormones (TH) has been known to alter significantly during fasting. This study investigates whether renal handling of TH is also changed during fasting. METHODS: We measured urinary excretion rates and clearances of free tri-iodothyronine (T(3)) and free thyroxine (T(4)) in healthy subjects prior to and on the third day of fasting. RESULTS: During fasting, both mean T(3) and T(4) urinary excretion decreased significantly to a mean value of 42% of control. Also, total and free (F) serum T(3) concentrations declined significantly, but serum T(4) did not change. Both FT(3) and FT(4) clearance decreased significantly during fasting (62% and 42% of control). The fasting-induced decrease in uric acid clearance correlated well with the decrease in FT(3) clearance (r=0.94; P
