Thyroid's secretory capacity (GT, also referred to as thyroid's incretory capacity, maximum thyroid hormone output, T4 output or, if calculated from levels of thyroid hormones, as SPINA-GT) is the maximum stimulated amount of thyroxine that the thyroid can produce in a given time-unit (e.g. one second).[1]

How to determine GT

Experimentally, GT can be determined by stimulating the thyroid with high a thyrotropin concentration and measuring its output in terms of T4 production.

In vivo, GT can also be estimated from equilibrium levels of TSH and T4 or free T4. In this case it is calculated with

or

: Theoretical (apparent) secretory capacity (SPINA-GT)
: Dilution factor for T4 (reciprocal of apparent volume of distribution, 0.1 l−1)
: Clearance exponent for T4 (1.1e-6 sec−1)
K41: Dissociation constant T4-TBG (2e10 l/mol)
K42: Dissociation constant T4-TBPA (2e8 l/mol)
DT: EC50 for TSH (2.75 mU/l)[1][2]

Reference Range

Lower limit Upper limit Unit
1.41[1] 8.67[1] pmol/s

The equations and their parameters are calibrated for adult humans with a body mass of 70 kg and a plasma volume of ca. 2.5 l.[1]

Clinical significance

GT is elevated in hyperthyroidism and reduced in hypothyroidism[3][4] and it has been observed to correlate with thyroid volume.[1] In longitudinal evaluation GT shows lower intraindividual variation than TSH, FT4 or FT3.[5] Correlation of SPINA-GT with creatinine clearance suggested a negative influence of uremic toxins on thyroid biology.[6] In the initial phase of major non-thyroidal illness SPINA-GT may be temporarily elevated.[7]
