Wu, Sing-Yung, Daniel H. Polk, Wen-Sheng Huang, and Delbert A. Fisher. Fetal-to-maternal transfer of 3,38,5triiodothyronine sulfate and its metabolite in sheep. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Endocrinol. Metab. 40): E915–E919, 1999.— Earlier studies have shown that sulfoconjugation is a major pathway of thyroid hormone metabolism in fetal mammals. To assess the placental transfer of sulfoconjugates in the pregnant sheep model, we measured 3,38,5-triiodothyronine (T3) sulfate (T3S), 3,38-diiodothyronine sulfate (T2S), and T3 concentrations in fetal serum and in maternal serum and urine after T3S infusion to the fetus (n 5 5) or the ewe (n 5 6). Maternal infusion of T3S did not increase fetal serum T2S, T3S, or T3 concentrations. In contrast, fetal infusion of T3S produced significant increases in maternal serum T2S and T3S but not T3 concentrations. Fetal T3S infusion also increased maternal urine excretion of T3S. However, the 4-h cumulative maternal urinary excretion of T2S and T3S after fetal T3S infusion was less than the excretion observed after fetal infusion of equimolar amounts of T3 in our previous study. It is concluded that fetal serum T2S and T3S can be transferred to maternal compartments. However, compared with T3, these sulfoconjugates may be less readily transferred.

Earlier studies have shown that sulfoconjugation is a major pathway of thyroid hormone metabolism in fetal mammals. To assess the placental transfer of sulfoconjugates in the pregnant sheep model, we measured 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3) sulfate (T3S), 3,3'-diiodothyronine sulfate (T2S), and T3 concentrations in fetal serum and in maternal serum and urine after T3S infusion to the fetus ( n = 5...
متن کاملComparative formation, distribution, and elimination kinetics of diphenylmethoxyacetic acid (a diphenhydramine metabolite) in maternal and fetal sheep.
Deamination to diphenylmethoxyacetic acid (DPMA) is the major route of diphenhydramine (DPHM) clearance in many species. In this study, we assessed the contribution of this pathway to nonplacental DPHM elimination and disposition of DPMA in maternal and fetal sheep. Paired maternal-fetal experiments were conducted in five chronically catheterized pregnant sheep (124-140 days gestation) with an ...
متن کاملMaternal undernutrition alters triiodothyronine concentrations and pituitary response to GnRH in fetal sheep.
The aims of this study were to determine which hormones may have a role in the expression of maternal undernutrition effects on reproductive function, in both the developing fetus and the adult offspring. This was undertaken by measuring the effects of long-term maternal undernutrition on metabolic hormone profiles and pituitary responses to single doses of GnRH and GH-releasing factor (GRF) in...
متن کاملStereoselective pharmacokinetics of fluoxetine and norfluoxetine enantiomers in pregnant sheep.
We examined the stereoselective disposition of fluoxetine (FX) and its metabolite norfluoxetine (NFX) in five pregnant sheep. Racemic FX was administered i.v. to the ewe (50 mg) and the fetus (10 mg) on separate occasions. Maternal and fetal blood, maternal urine, and fetal amniotic and tracheal fluid samples were collected for 72 h. FX and NFX isomers were quantified by gas chromatography-mass...
