Challenges Confronting Risk Analysis of Potential Thyroid Toxicants

R. Thomas Zoeller

Risk Analysis, 2003, vol. 23, issue 1, 143-162

Abstract: Screening and testing for potential thyroid toxicants using endpoints of thyroid function, including circulating levels of thyroid hormones and thyrotropin, will not capture toxicants that directly interfere with thyroid hormone action at the receptor. The goals of the present review are to provide a critique of the literature focused on thyroid hormone and brain development as it relates to testing and evaluating thyroid toxicants, and to propose possible solutions to this perceived dilemma.
