A role for luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone in the etiology of simple goiters in the pediatric population.

In light of the progressive, pubertal increases in serum gonadotropin (FSH, LH) levels coinciding with the peak incidence of simple goiters; the common alpha subunits associated with the gonadotropins, TSH and hCG; the ability of LH and hCG to bind to thyroid TSH receptors and affect thyroid function; and, the probable interactions between thyroid hormones and gonadotropins, a role for gonadotropins in the etiology of simple goiters merits consideration.

Role for glucagon as a mineralocorticoid antagonist during the fetal-perinatal period.

The progressive decrease in total body water (TBW) and sodium during the fetal-perinatal period; the normally noted 5-10 per cent largely water weight loss noted in term infants during the first 3-4 days postnatally; and, the even greater TBW and sodium losses incurred by premature infants during the initial post-natal week may, in part, be secondary to a glucagon-mediated, renal distal tubular hyporesponsiveness to aldosterone.
