Hormones and malnutrition can imprint several changes in the beginning of life that programs homeostatic changes in the adulthood. We analyzed the thyroid function in 21, 30, 60 and 150 days old animals that were injected with leptin on the first 10 days of life, to determine whether this corresponds to a critical period for the establishment of the hormonal imprinting in the programing of the thyroid function. Pups were divided, within 24 hours of birth, into two groups: Lep group, which was injected once daily with 8 mu g/100 g B.W. of recombinant mouse leptin for the first 10 days of lactation, and C-control group that received the same volume of saline. Lep group had higher leptin concentration at days 30 ( + 6x, p < 0.001) and 150 ( + 108 %, p < 0.05) than the controls. These animals had lower serum TT4 (-13 %; p < 0.05) and TO (-17.3 %; p < 0.002) at 30 days and higher serum TT4 and FT4 concentrations at 150 days ( + 17.55 % and + 10 %, p < 0.05 %, respectively, p < 0.05) with lower serum TSH concentrations at 60 (-38.5 %, p < 0.05) and 150 days (-46 %, p < 0.05). These animals had also lower hepatic mitochondrial alpha-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (mGPDH) activity at 21 (-22.5 %; p < 0.05), 30 (-50.4 %; p < 0.05) and 150 days (-40 %; p < 0.05) than the controls. These data show that the leptin injection in the beginning of lactation cause a hypothyroidism on the Offspring as soon as 30 days of age and this alteration may be the imprinted factor for the programing of a higher thyroid function at the adulthood.
