Figure 3. Concentrations of Free Thyroxine (T4), Free Triiodothyronine (T3), and Prolactin From the 6 Study Participants.

Figure 3.

Taking 10 mg/d of biotin for 7 days was associated with falsely increased results from the Roche cobas e602 assay for free T4 (P= .01) and free T3 (P= .005) and from the Siemens Vista Dimension 1500 assay for free T3 (P< .001). A unique color is used for each participant across all panels. The dotted lines represent the lower and the upper reference range for each assay. For prolactin, 2 women were represented by triangles and 4 men by dots. Red dotted lines represent normal range of prolactin for women and black for men.
