  abstract = {{E}xtensive data from animal and human studies indicate that iron deficiency impairs thyroid metabolism. {T}he aim of this study was to determine thyroid hormone status in iron-deficient adolescent girls. {B}y stepwise random sampling from among all public high schools for girls in {L}ar and its vicinity in southern {I}ran, 103 out of 431 iron deficient subjects were selected. {U}rine and serum samples were collected and assayed for urinary iodine and serum ferritin, iron, total iron binding capacity ({TIBC}), thyroid stimulating hormone ({TSH}), thyroxine ({T}4), triiodothyronine ({T}3), free thyroid hormones (f{T}4 and f{T}3), triiodothyronine resin uptake ({T}3{RU}), reverse triiodothyronine (r{T}3), selenium and albumin concentrations. {H}ematological indices for iron status confirmed that all subjects were iron-deficient. {T}here was a significant correlation between {T}4 and ferritin (r= 0.52, {P}<0.001) and between {TSH} and ferritin (r=-0.3, {P}<0.05). {S}ubjects with low serum ferritin had a higher ratio of {T}3/{T}4 (r= -0.42, {P}<0.01). {U}sing stepwise regression analysis, only ferritin contributed significantly to the r{T}3 concentration (r=-0.35, {P}<0.01). {T}he results indicate that the degree of iron deficiency may affect thyroid hormone status in iron-deficient adolescent girls.},
