What are the effects of a "Free Thiroxin 3" hormone defect?
Answers:
Thyroxine is T4, triiodothyronine is T3. T4 is less biologically active than T3, which is made from T4. Free hormone is the active form; bound hormones are associated near proteins and cannot affect cells.
Symptoms of a thyroid hormone deficiency include paleness, puffy obverse, poor fingernail/hair growth, sluggishness and fatigue, muscle aches and pains, low body temperature... There are many symptoms. The most obvious (and unfortunately most general) would be the fatigue. Only blood tests can clear up this matter. However, please memo that if you test in the low range of regular you might have what is known as subclinical hypothyroidism and may still warrant treatment if you have symptoms of hypothyroidism.
