    Abstract : En normalt fungerande sköldkörtelhormonproduktion är väldigt viktigt för alla djur då sköldkörtelhormonerna är involverade i många av kroppens mekanismer såsom reglering av metabolismen samt krävs för att nervsystem och skelett ska utvecklas på ett normalt sätt. Eftersom sköldkörtelhormonsystemet är så viktigt för vuxna individer och ännu viktigare för unga individer som fortfarande utvecklas är det av yttersta relevans att studera ämnen som kan interagera och påverka detta hormonsystem negativt.
