Serial thyroid function tests were made on 29 patients 17 to 85 years old on thyroxine replacement treatment. Thyroxine in plasma increased significantly in most patients after an oral dose of thyroxine. The patients with the largest rise had high basal values and were on a higher mean replacement dose of thyroxine.
