摘要

Fipronil (FPN) is a phenylpyrazole class insecticide, which is widely used in households, agriculture, and health care in the many countries of world. The effect of prolonged exposure to low doses of FPN on the state of thyroid hormones (TH) thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) of the pregnant rats and their offspring have been studied. In non-pregnant female rats FPN exposure for 30 days before pregnancy resulted in a moderate decrease of levels both of the TH, but it significantly increased the concentration of TSH. The impact of FPN in pregnant female rats, and especially in lactating period, led to a marked reduction in TH concentration with a significant increase in TSH levels. It was also found that prenatal and postnatal exposure to low doses of FPN significantly disturbed thyroid function in the offspring. The concentrations both of T4 and T3 in all periods of experiments in the offspring from FPN-exposure rats were decreased, while the TSH level was significantly higher than controls. The hypothyroidism in the offspring was kept on 30 day of postnatal life, when delivery of FPN or its metabolites through the breast milk has been discontinued. It is probably may be due to a prolonged retention of the fipronil sulfone, as a more stable metabolite of fipronil, in the organism of offspring. The mechanisms of disorders of thyroid function of exposed to FPN pregnant females and their offspring has not yet fully understood and need further detailed investigations. The results of these studies may help to prevent the adverse effects of environmental pollutants on the thyroid function of pregnant women and their children. Introduction For more than two decades in the world literature uses the term “endocrine- disrupting chemicals or endocrine disruptors” (EDCs, or EDs), adopted by the Agency for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1991 (Boas et al., 2006; Diamanti-Kandarakis et al., 2009; Zoeller, 2010).This term brings together all chemical substances which in the humans and animals changing processes of synthesis, secretion, transport, and metabolism of natural hormones and thereby leads to a violation of hormonal homeostasis (Hotchkiss et al., 2008).Endocrine-disrupting effects have many pesticides, including the latest generation, and household chemicals and some medicines.There are more than one hundred pesticides of which 80% are commonly used as insecticides and fungicides, have different endocrine disrupting effects (Mnif et al, 2011). One of the most common representatives of the pyrazole class pesticides is fipronil (FPN), which as insecticide has a high efficiency even at low doses and is widely used in households, agriculture, and health care in the many countries of world (Tingle et al., 2003). The risk of contamination of the environment to fipronil, and especially to its more toxic and stable metabolite a fipronil sulfone is big enough, because the use of FPN-containing insecticides continues to grow due to the limitation of the known organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides (Lassiter et al., 2009). Recently studies M.P.Ensminger et al., (2013) showed an abundance of pesticides in surface waters of California. In water samples, all of the malathion,fipronil and λ-cyhalothrin detections, and most of the fipronilsulfone detections were above their lowest US EPA aquatic benchmark.It should be understood that even low doses of these pollutants may have endocrine - disrupting effects. Whether low doses of EDCs affect influence certain human disorders is no longer conjecture, because epidemiological studies show that environmental exposures to EDCs are associated with human diseases and disabilities (Vandenberg et al., 2012).However the endocrine-disrupting effect of FPN was discovered relatively recently and the reports on this problem are relatively rare.Early reports on the inhibitory effect of FPN on the thyroid gland appeared in the late 90's (Hurley, 1998).Th

Ensminger等人(2013年)的最新研究表明,加州地表水中存在大量农药。在水样中,所有的马拉硫磷,氟虫腈和cycyothrin检出物以及大部分氟虫腈砜检出物均高于其最低的美国EPA水生基准,应理解即使是低剂量的这些污染物也可能具有内分泌干扰作用。低剂量的EDC是否会影响某些人类疾病不再是推测,因为流行病学研究表明EDC的环境暴露与人类疾病和残疾有关(Vandenberg et al。,2012),然而发现了FPN的内分泌干扰作用关于FPN对甲状腺的抑制作用的早期报道出现在90年代后期(Hurley,1998)。
