Sex hormone binding globulin in postmenopausal women: a predictor of osteoporosis superior to endogenous oestrogens.

abstract：:Patients with thyrotoxic Graves' disease were treated daily for 10 d with 1 g sodium ipodate, an iodine rich X-ray contrast agent which impairs outer ring (5'-) deiodination of T4 to T3, or with 12 drops of a saturated solution of potassium iodide (SSKI). T4, T3 and reverse T3 (rT3) concentrations were measured before...
