Description	We followed the effects of an antidepressant drug fluoxetine (Fluox), administered sub-chronically to Wistar rats by itself, or in combination with 3,3',5-triiodothyronine. In studies of the interaction of Fluox with the metabolism of thyroid hormones, we applied adapted radiometric enzyme assays for iodothyronine sulfotransferases and uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronyltransferase, as well as our newly developed radiometric assays for iodothyronine deiodinases of types 1, 2 and 3, using 125I-labelled iodothyronines of high specific radioactivity as substrates.
