Abstract:
:Iodized oil was administered as a single intramuscular injection to pregnant iodine-deficient ewes at 100 days gestation and the subsequent growth of their fetuses compared with that of fetuses of severely iodine-deficient ewes and of iodine-replete ewes, all of which were fed the same low-iodine diet. The administered iodine produced a remarkable improvement in thyroid function and physical appearance of the fetuses, accompanied by an increase in brain growth and to a lesser extent in body growth, which at 140 days was only slightly (but significantly) less than that of the controls. There was restoration of the number of cells (DNA) and myelination (cholesterol/DNA) in the cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres which suggests a catch-up of neuroblast development during pregnancy. Histological examination, however, revealed that counts of synapses (density) in the cerebral cortex after iodized oil were still less than those of the control fetal brains. The relevance of these findings to the effects of iodine deficiency on human brain development is discussed.
