Dietary exposure to polybrominated diphenyl ether 47 (PBDE-47) inhibits development and alters thyroid hormone-related gene expression in the brain of Xenopus laevis tadpoles

Highlights • High-dose BDE-47 hinders Xenopus growth and metamorphosis • Thyroid-related transcriptomic changes were detected in brain, but not tail tissue. • Gene expression changes indicated reduced thyroid hormone signaling. • BDE-47 altered thyroid-related transcripts associated with neurodevelo...
