Abstract
This paper aimed to assess a method to measure eight thyroid-related compounds in serum by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), to verify the correlation with radioimmunoassay (RIA), to evaluate the possible cross-reactivity, and to observe differences between athletes declaring the consumption of sodium levothyroxine and nonathletes serum samples. Validation was carried out to assess carryover, working range and linearity, limit of detection and limit of quantification, precision, matrix influence, recovery, accuracy, and uncertainty. Comparison between RIA and LC-MS/MS results was done. The assay was applied to serum samples, and comparison with RIA was done for T3 and T4 levels supported by RIA Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) measurements. Validation parameters showed satisfactory results. Correlation between RIA and LC-MS/MS for T3 and T4 showed good results, but a cross-reactivity between T3 and T3AA was observed. Although no significant differences were proved, preliminary comparison between athletes and nonathletes serum samples showed a shift towards high values of TSH and lower for T4 values in the athletes' group. Differences between thyronine and T4AA concentrations and ratios were observed. The trend of T4 values supported by TSH measures might indicate subclinical hypothyroidism in athletes. This represents one of the most controversial thyroid statuses as different criteria about its treatment are described, especially since one of the exogenous causes is inadequate levothyroxine therapy. Because the variation of thyroid hormones and TSH has been extensively studied in high-performance sports, it is worth considering the need to set an adequate reference interval to accurately assess the thyroid status in athletes.
