title: [The thyroid gland and adrenal cortex in the large fetus and their role in the development of macrosomia].
abstract: In a morphological study of thyroid glands and adrenal cortex of large fetuses compared to the controls the authors revealed a significant increase of the thyroid gland functional activity, as well as of glomerular and fascicular zones of adrenal cortex. The functional tension of the thyroid gland appeared to be reduced in large fetuses with obesity. Hyperfunction of all zones of the adrenal cortex was also revealed in them. In medium height fetuses with obesity hypofunction of the thyroid gland, as well as hyperfunction of the fascicular and fetal adrenal cortex zones were present. Correlation-regression analysis has revealed close interrelations between the functional state of the thyroid gland, adrenal cortex and fetal mass.
