Ammonium Perchlorate - Serum dosimetry, neurotoxicity and resilience of the neonatal rat thyroid system
Perchlorate is an environmental contaminant that interferes with iodine uptake via the NIS transporter into the thyroid gland, reducing thyroid hormone (TH) synthesis. As adequate supplies of TH are essential for brain development, exposures to perchlorate during pregnancy have raised concern for the developing brain. …
