Definition[]

GD, also referred to as SPINA-GD, is an abbreviation for "gain of deiodinases". It is a mathematical symbol for calculated sum activity of peripheral 5' deionidases type 1 (DIO1) and type 2 (DIO2). Calculation of GD is part of a structure-parameter inference approach, a method that is used e.g. in experimental thyroid research. The equations are derived from a mathematical model of thyrotropic feedback control.

Calculation[]

: Dilution factor for T3 (reciprocal of apparent volume of distribution, 0.026 l-1)
: Clearance exponent for T3 (8e-6 sec-1)
KM1: Dissociation constant of type-1-deiodinase (5e-7 mol/l)
K30: Dissociation constant T3-TBG (2e9 l/mol)

Reference range[]

20 - 40 nmol/sec (in adult humans)
