I recommend Tania Smith's latest blog on the meaning or otherwise of rT3 in thyroid hormone activity. She discusses its meaning in several scenarios and uses our, Bianco's, Ito's and Gullo's work in supporting her argument. This should put the rT3 situation in its real position in the scheme of things.
