    Document: Normal, healthy kittens from a research colony in an approved facility at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine were used. One half to one milliliter of whole blood based on body weight was drawn by jugular venipuncture each week. Serum was immediately obtained and frozen until analysis. The samples were submitted to the Michigan State University Diagnostic Laboratory for Animal and Population Health. All TH measurements were performed on serum. The TSH was measured using a canine chemiluminescent assay. The TT4, TT3 and fT3 were measured with radioimmunoassays and the fT4 was measured using equilibrium dialysis. All assays have been previously validated in cats.
