Placental Iodothyronine Deiodinases Expression in Pregnant Cows Exposed to Propylthiouracil (Ptu) and Thyroid Axis Activity of their Calves
The aim of our study was to investigate if the thyroid axis of newborn calves is affected by prenatal application of propylthyouracil (PTU). The study included 20 late pregnant Holstein cows. One group (n=10) was treated with PTU (4 mg/kg of BW daily) from day 20 before expected calving until the da...
