A comparison of thyroid hormone levels and plasma capillary zone electrophoresis in red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) and map turtles (Graptemys spp.) depending on season and sex.

This study demonstrates the importance of considering species, season, and sex variations when interpreting thyroid hormone and plasma protein levels. It also shows that thyroid hormone levels are not always influenced by total protein and albumin.
