Flame Retardants / thyroid
Hello HHSHHSHHS, in your recent edits on the Flame Retardants page, you removed a short section of text, and one reference, that I inserted -- specifically the list that mentioned interference with thyroid hormone receptor and deiodinase activity (along with transport proteins, still there). I continue to think these elements are helpful in overviewing the different mechanisms through which halogenated flame retardants may disrupt the thyroid system. Could you clarify your thinking in removing them? Thanks! EThorsos (talk) 17:56, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for thinking about how to work that back in, and I appreciate your inclination to connect in vivo and in vitro evidence. By the way, as you may have seen on the Flame Retardants history page, this past month I've been slowly doing a major overhaul of the page. I've been intending to have one subsection about health outcomes and another subsection (this one) specifically about likely mechanistic pathways of toxicity. However, I haven't yet touched the "Health concerns" section of the page (next on my list!), so that section remains terribly organized. This is all to say that I'm planning to keep adjusting the organization. Some of the information you added (e.g., about lasting effects of single-dose exposure early in development) may in the end be more appropriate in the main health outcomes section...
