Thyroid hormones in blood is transpoed by:
A i.e. Albumin; B i.e. Globuin; C i.e. Prealbumin Thyroid hormones in blood is transpoed combined with plasma proteins. Normally 99.9% of T4 (&T3) in plasma is protein bound. Plasma protein which bind T4 & T3 are: i) AlbuminQ ii) Thyroxine binding prealbuminQ (TBPA) (new called transthyretin) iii) Thyroxine binding globulinQ (TBG): affinity to bind T4 is maximum.
