Thyroid hormones and fetal neurological development

Jatin Patel, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: There is a growing body of experimental evidence from rats and humans to suggest that even mild maternal hypothyroxinemia may lead to abnormalities in fetal neurological development, with a focus on cell membrane transporters and TR action in the brain.

Jatin Patel, +4 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: Interestingly, HIFs respond to a multitude of changes during pregnancy, including 1) low oxygen, 2) renin-angiotensin system (RAS), 3) cytokines, and 4) growth factors, all of which regulate placental function.
