Randomized trial depletes L-T3 and L-T4 in euthyroid calf serum, indicating a viable method for cell culture studies.

This research aims to develop a reliable method for depleting L-T3 and L-T4 from euthyroid calf serum for cell culture applications.
Used anion exchange resin to deplete L-T3 and L-T4 from euthyroid calf serum.
Assessed the impact of depletion on low molecular weight anion components and protein content.
Evaluated biological responses in GH1 cells using the treated serum as a media supplement.
Depleting serum of L-T3 and L-T4 did not affect the total protein content or electrophoretic pattern.
Cell responses in serum-depleted media were identical to those in thyroidectomized calf serum.
Growth-promoting properties of serum were retained upon restoring thyroid hormone concentration.

Samuels et al. (1979) studied this question.
