Introduction of TSH The Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) protein is a crucial player in the regulation of thyroid function. ...
Several PBDE congeners are considered thyroid disruptors however avian studies are limited. Here, we examined circulating thyroid hormones, thyroid gland function of nestling American kestrels (Falco sparverius) at 17‐20 d of age, following embryonic exposure by maternal transfer only to environmentally relevant levels of PBDEs (DE‐71 technical ...
The effects of PCP exposure on plasma thyroid hormone levels, and the expression levels of selected genes, were measured in the brain and liver. ...
Plasma testosterone and 11‐ketotestosterone were significantly depressed in males of both species. Perturbations in the thyroid status were detected, but varied between sexes and species. Observed differences included lower plasma concentrations of thyroid hormones and/or elevated liver deiodinase activity. Histological evaluation of the thyroid ...
Results indicated that muscle levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (median PBDEs, 235.98 ng/g wet wt; range, 7.70–703.31 ng/g wet wt), serum levels of thyroid‐stimulating hormone (median TSH, 2.32 µIU/ml; range, 2.05–2.72 µIU/ml) and erythrocyte DNA damage level (median olive tail movement, 16.27 µm; range, 4.28–27.51 µm) were higher in the exposed group than ...
In 1987, a cohort study was initiated in the Amsterdam/Zaandam region of The Netherlands to study possible effects of dioxins on development and growth in a population of breastfed children selected after an optimal pregnancy and delivery and birth weight above 2500 grams. Effects on thyroid hormone metabolism, liver, haematology and immunology, and retinol binding protein were ...
