Neonatal hypothyroxinemia: effects of iodine intake and premature birth.
We have investigated the effects of iodine (I) intake on urinary I excretion in preterm (PT) babies up to 2 months after birth and its effect on serum T4, free T4 (FT4), T3, TSH, and thyroglobulin (Tg) levels compared to those in term (T) newborns. Very premature and very sick infants were in negative I balance for the first weeks after birth. Later, these same infants, as well as the other PT ...
متن کاملIodine content of infant formulas and iodine intake of premature babies: high risk of iodine deficiency.
As part of a study of thyroid function in premature babies, the iodine content of their mothers' breast milk, that of 32 formulas from different brands used in Spain, and that of 127 formulas used in other countries was determined. Breast milk contained more iodine--mean (SEM) 10 (1) microgram/dl--than most of the formulas, especially those for premature babies. Iodine intakes were therefore be...
متن کاملMortality in premature mice at birth and during neonatal development.
This paper reports a statistical study of mortality in about 2 500 premature mice at birth and during neonatal development. The premature mice were removed by caesarean section and reanimated for 30 min.; surviving mice as well as newborns delivered vaginally on day 20 of pregnancy (control mice) were raised from birth to day 20 by nursing mothers spontaneously delivered at the same time. The m...
متن کاملHypothyroxinemia in extremely low birth weight infants
Hypothyroxinemia of prematurity (HOP) is a transient alteration in thyroid hormone availabilityfound in more than half of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW) born at less than 30 weeks [1]. HOP is characterized by very low total T4 (TT4) and free T4 (FT4) levels with a normal or low thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH); TT4 and FT4 show a nadir at 7-10 days of life and they may remained low ...
متن کاملGestational hypothyroxinemia and the beneficial effects of early dietary iodine fortification.
The article by Pere Berbel and his Spanish coworkers, published in this issue of Thyroid (1), is fascinating both for the results reported and its clever study design, unique among all other studies published so far on the consequences of iodine deficiency (ID) during pregnancy. Because this study combines data on specific maternal aspects with information on infant neurodevelopment, the presen...
