Serum free thyroxine (fT4) was assayed by a commercial fT4 method in 30 normal euthyroid subjects, 19 pregnant females, 13 euthyroid subjects with high thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) and three with low or undetectable serum TBG concentration. In a number of these fT4 was also calculated on the basis of the application of the law of mass action to the binding situation. In states in which TBG was altered for congenital reasons both the experimentally determined and calculated fT4 were not significantly different from their respective means in the normal euthyroid population. Pregnant females had both lower experimental and theoretical free T4 concentrations. It is inferred from these data that TBG concentration per se is without effect on serum fT4 concentration.
