Abstract
1. The blood ACTH and T3 levels are low in women with late toxemia of pregnancy; the blood cortisol, aldosterone, and T4 levels and the thyroxine-binding capacity are raised. 2. The concentrations of TSH, STH, and catecholamines in blood from the umbilical cord of newborn infants whose mothers had late toxemia of pregnancy are raised. 3. Changes in concentrations of pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal hormones during the normal course of pregnancy and late toxemia reflect protective and adaptive responses of the mother aimed at maintaining homeostasis.
