Normal thyroid function in desipramine nonresponders converted to responders by the addition of L-triiodothyronine
G Schwarcz, A Halaris, L Baxter, J Escobar, M Thompson and M Young
The results of complete thyroid function testing were normal in four
desipramine nonresponders who were converted to responders by addition of
L-triiodothyronine (T3). These findings suggest that the effectiveness of
T3 is not due to correction of subtle thyroid deficiencies.
