  • Title: Roles of serum thyroxine-binding proteins and maternal thyroid hormones in fetal development.
    Author: Ekins R.
    Journal: Lancet; 1985 May 18; 1(8438):1129-32. PubMed ID: 2860338.
    Abstract:
    Endocrinologists have speculated for many years about three apparently unrelated topics--the unknown physiological role of specific thyroid (and steroid) hormone-binding proteins present in serum; the extent and significance of placental transport of thyroid hormones from mother to fetus throughout pregnancy; and the specific hormonal role (if any) of thyroxine. A unifying hypothesis is advanced for the existence of subtle endocrine control systems which may profoundly affect early fetal development and ultimate intellectual and behavioural attainments in adults.
