main concern of the thesis is drawing the public attention to eradicate as possible, the thyroid hypo- or hyperfunctioning among women in the childbearing age and to compromise as well the undesirable detrimental impacts in the resultingprogeny. ● The adequate functioning of the maternal thyroid gland plays an important role to ensure that the newborns develop normally. ● Generally, mothers with hypo- or hyper-functioning thyroid glands are at increased risk for newborns defects concomitant with the disturbances induced in the maternal hormonal machinery. ● Thyroid hormones may play an important role in the growth and differentiation of neurons and skeletal tissues. Also, thyroid dysfunction during the brain maturation not only may cause histological and functional alterations, but also may disrupt interneuronalconnections and neuronal integration. ● Administrations of methimazole (MMI) and exogenous thyroxine (T4) to mothers may cause a number of injurious anomalies in the development of their newborns and may lead to a pathophysiological state.
