Clinical trial

I've archived the old talk page. This article is missing one of the few trials on DTE, which I found on the hypothyroidism article. I have verified that dessicated thyroid extract was used in this trial: *Baisier, W.V.; Hertoghe, J.; Eeckhaut, W. (2001). "Thyroid Insufficiency. Is Thyroxine the Only Valuable Drug?". Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. 11 (3): 159–66. doi:10.1080/13590840120083376. {{cite journal}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) — Abstract

This was not a controlled trial. It simply found that some patients who didn't respond to T4 responded to T4 + T3. Impossible to know whether synthetic T4 + T3 would have had the same result. II | (t - c) 03:41, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wilson's Dessicated Thyroid?

Whilst the Armour company is the best known now, the medical literature is replete with references to glandular preparations (including, but not just, desiccated thyroid) supplied by "The Wilson Laboratories" of Chicago Il (Part of Wilson and Company - another huge meat packer). I understand Wilson Laboratories were subsequently bought by Inolex. Various staff also published papers whilst working for "The Wilson Laboratories", mostly on the correct preparation of glandular products.

Seems to be a whole history of glandular preparations and research largely not yet listed in Wikipedia.
