Introduction: thyroglobulin in thyroid hormone homeostasis The two thyroid hormones (TH) 3,5,3',5'-tetraiodo- l -thyronine (T4) and 3,3′,5-triiodo- l -thyronine (T3) are crucial for human metabolism and development ( 1 , 2 ). T4 is produced

Introduction In the follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), thyroglobulin (Tg) is a well-recognized tumor marker, and therefore, highly accurate Tg measurements are crucial ( 1 ). However, current immunoassays can
