Neurophysin was detected immunohistochemically in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system of Wistar rats not before fetal day 18. Formerly, neurophysin was identified on day 16 of intrauterine life using another breeding stock of Wistar rats, but the same immunohistochemical reagents. In pregnant rats, experimentally induced hypo/hyperthyroidism beginning with day 13 of gestation failed to show any evident influence on the first appearance of immunohistochemically detectable neurophysin during the fetal development. Otherwise, significant effects on fetal body growth and other external features as well as the fetal thyroid state and histochemically demonstrable thyroid peroxidase activity were shown. The influence of thiamazol on the fetal thyroid peroxidase points out a primary effect and indicates the permeability of the placenta to this antithyroid drug.
