title: Thyroid function in developmental disorders.
abstract: The relationships between catecholamines and thyroid state are considered from clinical and molecular perspectives. The effects of thyroid hormone on adrenergic systems are mediated by altered receptor and post-receptor function. Clinical symptoms of major childhood neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as related biological measures, may be influenced by thyroid hormone regulation.
