Thyroid hormones (THs) including triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4) perform an essential role in brain development. The active form (T3) of THs is produced after metabolism and transported in different areas of the brain. This active form interacts with different types of glial cells and stimulates the expression of various genes to...

Background Fetal growth patterns are influenced by maternal thyroid function and vitamin A level during pregnancy. Vitamin A presents interactions with thyroid tissues and hormonal systems. We examined whether vitamin A status modified the associations of maternal thyroid hormones in early pregnancy and fetal growth outcomes among euthyroid pregnan...
