In the article "Health Status, Mood and Cognition in Experimentally-Induced Subclinical Hypothyroidism" by M. Samuels, K. Schuff, N. Carlson, P. Carello, and J. Janowksy (The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 92:2545–2551), the authors report an error in the free T3 concentrations in Table 1
. The corrected values and related correlations are described below and shown in the revised table. The authors regret the error.

TABLE 1. Clinical parameters and thyroid function tests at the end of each arm of the study (euthyroid and subclinical hypothyroid)

TABLE 1. Slightly low free T3 levels were seen in 5 subjects at baseline, 2 at the end of the euthyroid arm, and 10 at the end of the subclinical hypothyroid arm. Differences in the SF-36 mental component summary (MCS), as well as the bodily pain (BP), mental health (MH), role physical (RP), social functioning (SF), and vitality (VT) subscales, were related to changes in free T3 levels between the two study arms (P = 0.005-0.09). The difference in immediate paragraph recall was related to changes in free T3 levels between the two study arms (P = 0.04).
