The lower SPINA-GD (step-up deiodinase activity) and SPINA-GT (thyroid secretory capacity) are likely to reflect thyroid allostasis responses, and the lower protein binding of thyroid hormones, as shown by the lower TT3/FT3 and TT4/FT4 ratios, may potentially result in higher metabolism/degradation of thyroid hormones. Here, TG is linked to thyroid gland disorder.
