ABSTRACT
Thyroid function has been investigated in 32 hospitalized euthyroid Jamaicans. The in vivo investigations performed were measurement of 2«, 4 and 24 hr thyroidal uptake of 131I, thyroidal and renal clearances of radioiodide, absolute iodide uptakes and, in 6 subjects, radiothyroxine turnover studies. Thyroxine binding globulin and prealbumin capacities were measured in a small number of cases. Results obtained in all these investigations agreed well with those found in temperate climates and are at variance with previous finding of low 24 hr thyroidal uptakes of 131I in euthyroid Jamaicans, associated with a normal serum protein-bound iodine.(AU)
