Brown adipose tissue iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase increases progressively in fetuses from the day 17 of pregnancy on, it reaches peak values on the 20th day of gestation and declines in the last days of fetal life as well as during the first day of life. Birth of premature fetuses causes a sudden drop in the enzyme activity. Postmaturity is associated to a decrease in brown fat 5'-deiodinase similar to that found after birth in fetuses born at term. In the first hours of life brown fat iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase is essentially insensitive to the cold-stimulus. Present data indicates that, differently from adult rats, brown fat iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase activity during the perinatal period is dissociated from the thermogenic activity of the tissue. It is suggested that factors different from the action of the sympathetic nervous system may play a main role in brown fat iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase activity modulation in the fetal and neonatal life.
