- 定量聚合酶连锁反应 (qPCR) 用于分析基因表达水平.
- 与TBBPA和甲状腺激素受体对手的同时暴露实验.
主要成果:
- 长时间暴露于TBBPA导致甲状腺激素和副甲状腺激素信号通路的逐渐激活.
- 与甲状腺激素通路相关的基因表达在五代后显著上调 (1.15-8.54倍).
- TBBPA抑制了Ras通路的激活,并降低了Ras基因表达的调节.
- 与甲状腺激素受体对手的同时暴露降低了相关受体的表达,证实了该途径的参与.
结论:
- 甲状腺二A (TBBPA) 干扰甲状腺激素信号通路.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...
Target Cell Response to Hormones
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...
Functions of Thyroid Hormones
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...
