( a ) the thyroxine-binding proteins were investigated in 23 cases of untreated thyrotoxicosis and 16 cases of untreated hypothyroidism , employing reverse flow paper electrophoresis with the glycine acetate system at ph 8.6 in the durrum type cell . ( b ) in active thyrotoxicosis , all sera exhibited diminished thyroxine-binding prealbumin ( tbpa ) capacities . however , 17 of the 23 sera also had diminished thryroxine-binding alpha globulin ( tbg ) capacities , as well as markedly elevated free thyroxine fractions .
