Alteration of thyroid hormone secretion after long-term exposure to low doses of endocrine disruptor DDT

Abstract: Endocrine disruptors are exogenous substances that exhibit hormone-like action and consequently disrupt homeostatic action of endogenous hormones. DDT is the most common disruptor. The objective was to evaluate changes in thyroid hormone secretion after long-term exposure to low doses of DDT. The experiment was performed on male Wistar rats. The rats were given DDT at doses of 1.89±0.86 мg/kg/day and 7.77±0.17 мg/kg/day for 6 and 10 weeks. Dose dependent increase of serum total thyroxine, total triiodthyronine… Show more

“…Alterations of thyroid hormone secretion after long-term exposure to low doses of DDT through disruption of thyroxine secretion by thyrocytes have been reported. The DDT treatment in a low dose may induce similar changes observed during the development of hypothyroidism in conditions of iodine deficiency ( 30 , 31 ).…”
