They are classified according to how many iodine atoms it has in its molecule. T4 or tetraiodothyronine contains four iodines, T3 or triiodothyronine contains three iodines, T2 or Di iodothyronine has two iodines, T1 or monoiodothyronine has one iodine, then there is T, or thyronine, which has no iodines present in its molecule. They make up the following proportions of thyroxine T4 80% T3 15% T2 4.5% and traces of T1 and thyronine make up the other 0.5%. >>snip -------------------------------------------------------- Thyroid-Adrenal Connection Information & Resources http://www.bestweb.net/~om/thyroid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
