From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 112, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedSoldin addresses an important issue that was not fully developed in my editorial (Zoeller 2003a), specifically, the description of thyroid status in experimental animals designed to model human conditions. There are two...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 117, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: A core assumption of current toxicologic procedures used to establish health standards for chemical exposures is that testing the safety of chemicals at high doses can be used to predict the effects of...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 123, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) reduce blood concentrations of thyroid hormones in laboratory animals, but it is unclear whether PBDEs disrupt thyroid hormones in pregnant women or newborn infants....

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 111, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThyroid hormone (TH) is essential for normal brain development. The simplicity of this statement, however, dramatically understates the complexity of the issues confronting us as we develop ways to identify factors in...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 116, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Assessing adverse effects from environmental chemical exposure is integral to public health policies- Toxicology assays identifying early biological changes from chemical exposure are increasing our ability...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 5, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are extensively involved in diverse biological processes. However, very little is known about the role of miRNAs in mediating the action of thyroid hormones (TH). Appropriate TH levels are known to be...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 117, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence in humans and in experimental animals for a relationship between exposure to specific environmental chemicals and perturbations in levels of critically important thyroid hormones...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 115, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Perchlorate is a common contaminant of drinking water and food. It competes with iodide for uptake into the thyroid, thus interfering with thyroid hormone production. The U.S. Environmental Protection...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 4, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThyroid hormone (TH) is critical to normal brain development, but the mechanisms operating in this process are poorly understood. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation to enrich regions of DNA bound to thyroid receptor...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 117, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: In their safety evaluations of bisphenol A (BPA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a counterpart in Europe, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), have given special prominence to two...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 125, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe Florence Statement on Triclosan and Triclocarban documents a consensus of more than 200 scientists and medical professionals on the hazards of and lack of demonstrated benefit from common uses of triclosan and...

From:Science (Vol. 234) Peer-ReviewedA Deletion Truncating the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Gene Is, Responsible for Hypogonadism in the hpg Mouse THE CENTRAL REGULATION OF REPRODUCTIVE COMPETENCE in mammals is mediated by the activity of hypothalamic...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 112, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedPolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants routinely found in human and animal tissues. Developmental exposure to PCBs is associated with neuropsychologic deficits, which may be related...
-
From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 115, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may interfere with thyroid hormone (TH) signaling by reducing TH levels in blood, by exerting direct effects on TH receptors (TRs), or both. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 121, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIn 2002, the joint International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) of the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) published a...
