Following respective exposure of embryos to BF and λ-CH, thyroid endocrine disruption was investigated in zebrafish embryos.
Thyroid hormones (T3 and T4 levels) were significantly altered after being exposed to BF and λ-CH.
Gene transcription modulation in the HPT axis was examined.
BF and λ-CH bioconcentration in zebrafish larvae were evident.
BF binds to thyroid hormone receptor (TRα) protein more potently than λ-CH.
