Effects of PTU or PBDE treatment on maternal hormone concentrations. A, Serum total T4 levels in dams at the time the animals were killed on P21, after PTU (solid bars) or PBDE (open bars) treatment. A one-way ANOVA was performed separately for each of the two experiments. For PTU, F3,28 = 27.12; P < .0001; for PBDE, F4,31 = 14.02; P < .001. B, Serum free T4 levels in dams after PTU (solid bars) or PBDE (open bars) treatment. For PTU, F3, 27 = 20.90; P < .0001; for PBDE, F4, 31 = 11.71; P < .0001. C, Serum total T3 in dams treated with PTU (solid bars) or PBDE (open bars) treatment. One-way ANOVA revealed no significant differences among treatment groups. D, Serum TSH in dams treated with PTU (solid bars) or PBDE (open bars). For PTU, a one-way ANOVA demonstrated that TSH levels were significantly increased (F3, 51 = 14.83; P < .0001). This was not the case for PBDE, in which F4,29 = 1.37; P = .27. Bars represent mean ± SEM (n = 5–10 per group). *, P < .05; ***, P < .0001.
