Methods for early nutrition and their potential

TL;DR: Since the modern broiler increases its body weight by 50-fold from hatch until market age at 42 days, the first few critical days of “adjustment” represent a much greater proportion of the bird's life span than in the past.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis in birds and its role in bird development and reproduction.

TL;DR: Thyroid function and its hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis control in birds is reviewed with emphasis on the similarities and differences in thyroid function compared to mammals and other vertebrate classes.

Human fetal enterocytes in vitro: modulation of the phenotype by extracellular matrix

TL;DR: The sequential addition of connective tissue and luminal molecules to nonmalignant epithelia] cells in vitro induces a spectrum of changes in the epithelial cell phenotype toward full differentiation.

Avian thyroid development and adaptive plasticity.

TL;DR: This review describes the patterns of precocial and altricial thyroid development, their hypothalamic-pituitary control, extrathyroidal control of hormone activation and deactivation, and target tissue effects during development.

Thyroid Hormone Action: A Cell-Culture System Responsive to Physiological Concentrations of Thyroid Hormones

TL;DR: Dose-response relationships of a vacriety of thyronine derivatives indicate that this rat pituitary tumor cell line has a specificity of response which is similar to that observed in vitro.
