Maternal TFTs throughout pregnancy. Serum TSH levels for AfMo (A) and NlMo (C) as a function of gestational age. The best-fitted line and the CIs bandwidth are included. Histograms for mean TSH levels for AfMo (B) and NlMo (D). Values before pregnancy (week 0) and pools for 8-week intervals from weeks 1 to 40. (E) Serum fT4 and (H) serum fT3 levels as a function of gestational age for AFMo and NlMo. Histograms for the mean fT4 values for AFMo (F) and NLMo (G). Histograms for the mean fT3 values for AFMo (I) and NLMo (J). Values are mean ± SEM: *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001. AfFe, affected fetus; AfMo, affected mother; CI, 95% confidence interval; fT3, free triiodothyronine; fT4, free thyroxine; NlFe, normal fetus; NlMo, normal mother; SEM, standard error of the mean; TFTs, thyroid function tests; TSH, thyrotropin; ULN, the upper limit of normal as 100%.
