Acute Effects of Episodic PCB Congeners on the Hypothalamo -Pituitary-Thyroid (Hpt) Axis in Weanling Female Rats
Abstract
dc:descriptionThese studies demonstrate that brief exposure to ortho-substituted PCBs can cause alterations in the HPT axis in immature animals. The data indicate that ortho-PCBs 95 or 101 cause secondary or pituitary-related hypothyroidism. There is also evidence that these PCBs may be affecting the HPT-axis through multiple mechanisms.
