PCB Effects on Brain Type II 5'Deiodinase Activity in Developing Brids
PCBs are known to cause thyroid disruption in laboratory rats and are thought to be the causal agent in thyroid gland alterations in herring gulls in the Great Lakes. This study examined the regulation of thyroid hormone supply during development in (1) domestic chicken embryos (Gallus domesticus) …

Effects of ammonium perchlorate exposure on the thyroid function and the expression of thyroid-responsive genes in Japanese quail embryos and post hatch chicks
Perchlorate ion interferes with thyroid function by competitively inhibiting the sodium-iodide symporter, thus blocking iodide uptake into the thyroid gland. In this study, the effect of perchlorate exposure on thyroid function and thyroid-responsive gene expression were examined in (1) embryos …
