Hvorfor er forholdet mellem Reverse T3 / Total T3 vigtig?

I innlegg #1 i denne tråden så ligger det en referanse"boble" av Mod:

..men når jeg trykker på pila (i bobla - som ikke kan kopieres riktig) så kommer jeg ikke til Mods innlegg ..hjelp?

Det forstår jeg ikke... link-ikonet fører jo til en forkert tråd.... Prøv smgj's Reverse T3 - rT3 - mer enn et avfallstoff?. Indlæg nr. 6 er det du efterlyser.

Ellers ser jeg, at du har spurgt PR om netop total T3 i forhold til T3/rT3 ratio. Hans svar var: "FT3 is far more useful than total T3. Knowing how much T3 exists in a form bound to protein is nearly completely useless information. It doesn't do anything other than tell you that there is T3 there. It is entirely inactive. I would never look at total T3."

Jeg tror at han enten har misforstået spørgsmål, eller er han ikke klar over "mathematics" bag ratio-udregning. Jeg har svaret med følgende kommentar: "I totally agree! With one exception: the method of calculating the ratio between T3 and RT3. One can not calculate between different units of measurement. In order to calculate the ratio between two hormones, in principle, they should both be present in the same unit of measurement. Either "free" to "free" or "total" to "total". Because RT3 is available only as total measure, we need a total measure of both - RT3 and T3 - to calculate the proper ratio between these two. Ratio calculated between the free value of T3 and total value of RT3 can not be entirely correct."
