Abstract
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.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
