Serum and tissue THs. (A) Serum FT3, free triiodothyronine in serum. (B) Serum FT4, free thyroxine in serum. (C) TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone in serum. (D) Cardiac T3, triiodothyronine in cardiac tissue. (E) Cardiac T4, thyroxine in cardiac tissue. (F) Cardiac T3:T4 ratio, ratio of intracardiac T3 to T4. Values represented as means (SD) for groups with ≤3 samples and means (raw values) for groups with two samples; n = 2–3 pooled samples/group for D–F. Each pooled LV sample within an experimental group consisted of pooled LV tissue from 2 to 4 hearts (6 to 8 hearts/group); †p < 0.05 versus STZ/N. Statistical analysis was only performed on A–C.
