(17) All of these features of the LATs in humans are consistent with those reported in rabbits and mice and further validate the animal models of human HSV-1 infection.
(18) The long-acting thyroid stimulator (LATS) has been thought to be responsible for the hyperthyroidism of Graves's disease.
(19) Demonstration of LATS in the serum, slightly increased serum-triiodothyronine-levels, failure of normal response to TRH and an abnormal triiodothyronine-suppression test in euthyroid ophthalmopathy may herald the manifestation of hyperthyroidism at some later time.
(20) Most patients have elevated levels of LATS in their serum; however, this appears to be a marker for the disease, rather than a cause.
