Abstract :

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of gender, age and race on the concentration of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels on normal healthy individuals. In total, 1425 assays were performed in 475 normal healthy subjects visited the RIA laboratory of the INMAS, Rajshahi for T4, T3 and TSH tests during October 2014 to April 2015. The thyroids of all the individuals were in clinically normal condition. Serum T4 and T3 were analyzed by RIA method using BF002 and BF001 Radioimmunoassay kits, whereas serum TSH was estimated by IRMA method using BF003/BF028 TSH Immuunoradiomatricassy Kits supplied by Beijing North Institute of Biotechnology Co. Ltd., Beijing. The current study demonstrated a significant effect of age, gender and race on the levels T4, T3 and TSH.
