3,3′-Diiodothyronine sulfate cross-reactive material (compound W) in human newborns

Thyrosulfoconjugation appears to facilitate fetal-to-maternal transfer of 3,3′-diiodothyronine-sulfate (T 2 S). Elevated maternal levels of T 2 S cross-reactive material (compound W) are found in ...

Compound W, a 3,3′-Diiodothyronine Sulfate Cross-Reactive Substance in Serum from Pregnant Women—A Potential Marker for Fetal Thyroid Function

Employing a sensitive RIA for T 2 S, we found high concentrations in fetal and pregnant serum in humans (1). We further identified that this T 2 S-cross-reactive material is not authentic T 2 S and ...

Fetal neuromaturation associated with mother's exposure to DDT and other environmental contaminants

A has for the first time found that a mother's higher exposure to some common environmental contaminants was associated with more frequent and vigorous fetal motor activity. Some chemicals were also ...
