Plasma levels of TSH and thyroid hormones in 22 male and 27 female medical students were determined by radioimmunoassay before and after an academic examination. The plasma values of TSH were slightly higher in both sexes on the examination day than on the control days. The values were lower after the examination than before it in females but not in males. Plasma levels of T3 were higher in males than in females on the examination day. In contrast, the plasma rT3 values were higher for females on the examination day than on control days. The plasma levels of T4 were similar in both sexes. The results suggest that during psychic stress, the pituitary-thyroid endocrine system of the female reacts differently from that of the male
