Thyroid antibody positivity in pregnancy is associated with altered reproductive hormone concentrations and placental growth in Lewis rats

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Thyroid antibody positivity (TAb+) in pregnancy is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, but the mechanisms are unclear. This study developed a rodent model of TAb+ in pregnancy, induced prior to mating so that TAb+ exposure occurred throughout the pregnancy. TAb+ did not alter thyroid hormone concentrations and had minimal
