Abstract:
In our study, we examined white laboratory rats born to control and
experimental mothers with hypothyroidism. Morphological analysis of the pancreas during
various stages of postnatal ontogenesis revealed significant delays in the development and
formation of individual components of the vascular wall compared to the control group.
From the first days of the experiment, changes in the arterial wall were observed in all
experimental animals. The results demonstrate that morphological changes in pancreatic cells
and their blood vessels occur in offspring born to mothers with hypothyroidism.
