To assess interference with endocrine regulation of the thyroid axis, rats (female, ovariectomised) were treated for 12 weeks with the suspected endocrine active compounds (EAC) or endocrine disrupters (ED) 4-nonylphenol (NP), octyl-methoxycinnamate (OMC) and 4-methylbenzylidene-camphor (4-MBC) as well as 17beta-estradiol (E2) and 5alpha-androstane-3beta,17beta-diol (Adiol) on the background of a soy-free or soy-containing diet, and endpoints relevant for regulation via the thyroid axis were measured. Thyrotropin (TSH) and thyroid hormone (T4, T3) serum levels were altered, but not in a way consistent with known mechanisms of feedback regulation of the thyroid axis. In the liver, malic enzyme (ME) activity was significantly increased by E2 and Adiol, slightly by OMC and MBC and decreased by soy, whereas type I 5'-deiodinase (5'DI) was decreased by all treatments. This may be due rather to the estrogenic effect of the ED, as there is no obvious correlation with T4 or T3 serum levels. None of the substances inhibited thyroid peroxidase (TPO) in vitro, except for NP. In general, several endocrine active compounds disrupt the endocrine feedback regulation of the thyroid axis. However, there was no uniform, obvious pattern in the effects of those ED tested, but each compound elicited its own spectrum of alterations, arguing for multiple targets of interference with the complex network of thyroid hormone action and metabolism.
