Calmodulin-regulated phosphatase activity was measured in the brain of 2-month-old rats born from hypothyroid and normal dams, using a fluorometric enzyme assay developed for this purpose. Calmodulin content was measured in the same brain regions by radioimmunoassay. Significant differences between groups in weight and protein content, basal phosphatase and calmodulin-regulated phosphatase activity were found. The brain region most affected was the cerebellum, where basal and calmodulin-regulated phosphatase activities, and protein content were increased. The data point towards a lasting effect of maternal hypothyroxinaemia on the brain function of the progeny.
