Kinetic parameters of exponential fitting the declining serum concentrations of 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3) after administration of 100 µg T3

	Offspring	Partners	P
Coefficient α, nmol/L	8.82 ± 0.79	7.76 ± 0.45	.26
Coefficient β, nmol/L	4.60 ± 0.26	4.49 ± 0.33	.78
Slow rate constant, h–1	0.015 ± 0.001	0.016 ± 0.001	.47
Fast rate constant, h–1	0.984 ± 0.003	0.980 ± 0.003	.39

Data are shown as mean ± SEM. The formula used for the fitting was y = a * e^–c * t + b * e^–d * t.
