In the complex neonatal adaptation to the extra‐uterine life, thyroid hormones play an important role in the process of growth, and in energy, nutritional and mineral metabolism, as well as in thermogenesis. Thyroid hormones profiles, widely studied in human newborns, have been also studied in horse foals (1). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the T3 and T4 plasma concentrations in healthy newborn Martina Franca donkey foals, from birth to 14 days of age.

Abstract
In the complex neonatal adaptation to the extra‐uterine life, thyroid hormones play an important role in the process of growth, and in energy, nutritional and mineral metabolism, as well as in thermogenesis. Thyroid hormones profiles, widely studied in human newborns, have been also studied in horse foals (1). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the T3 and T4 plasma concentrations in healthy newborn Martina Franca donkey foals, from birth to 14 days of age.File in questo prodotto:
