3,5-Dimethyl-3'-isopropyl-L-thyronine (DIMIT)-induced fetal hyperthyroid rats showed a marked accumulation of intracellular tubulin content in the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, and cerebellum at 1 day old. When the fetuses were transplacentally radio-thyroidectomized with the administration of [131I]-Na, the brain weight was not changed at 1 day old. The DNA content was not affected by the radio-thyroidectomy (Tx), but intracellular RNA concentration (per DNA) was increased in the hypothalamus and cerebellum at that age. The DIMIT-supplement to Tx-fetuses failed to restore these abnormal values to normal. Delayed effects of the fetal Tx were observed in 11-day-old infants. These neonates showed decreased weight gain in the body, brain, cerebral cortex, and cerebellum. The DNA content (per wet tissue) was higher in the hypothalamus and cerebellum. The intracellular concentrations of RNA and tubulin (per DNA) were significantly decreased in the hypothalamus. These values were restored to normal by the administration of L-thyroxine(T4) to rats between 1 and 10 days old. These results demonstrate that fetal nervous tissues are sensitive to changes in thyroid functions. The different manner of response to the hormonal states among the brain areas may reflect that each nervous tissue has a specific critical period for thyroid hormones during development.
