Relative mRNA expression of deiodinases (dio1, dio2) and thyroid receptors (trα, trβ) in brains and livers of adult male fathead minnows exposed to a BDE-209 low dose (95 ± 0.4 ng/g food) and high dose (10 ± 0.1 μg/g food) at 3% bw/day for 28 days followed by a 14-day depuration (n=6; mean ± SE). The model anti-thyroid agent 6-propyl-2-thiouricil (PTU) was used as a positive control (0.5 mg/g food). Statistical significance evaluated within sampling day with one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.005).
