Description

2,2',6,6'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 153) is a persistent organic pollutant (POP) that has been widely used in industrial applications, such as electrical equipment, hydraulic fluids, and plasticizers. It is a highly stable compound that can persist in the environment for decades. PCB 153 is known to bioaccumulate in the food chain, leading to high levels in wildlife and humans. Studies have shown that PCB 153 can have a range of adverse effects on human health, including endocrine disruption, reproductive problems, developmental delays, and cancer. It is also known to be toxic to aquatic organisms and can disrupt ecosystem function. The synthesis of PCB 153 involves the chlorination of biphenyl in the presence of a catalyst. Due to its persistence in the environment and its potential health risks, PCB 153 is a subject of extensive research. Ongoing research aims to understand the fate and transport of PCB 153 in the environment, develop methods for its remediation, and assess its potential health impacts on humans and wildlife. This compound is widely studied due to its environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxic effects on human health and wildlife. Studies investigate its fate and transport, remediation, and health impacts. '

thyroxine
Thyroxine: The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.. thyroxine : An iodothyronine compound having iodo substituents at the 3-, 3'-, 5- and 5'-positions.		2.37202-halophenol;

Triiodothyronine: A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.. 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine : An iodothyronine compound having iodo substituents at the 3-, 3'- and 5-positions. Although some is produced in the thyroid, most of the 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine in the body is generated by mono-deiodination of L-thyroxine in the peripheral tissues. Its metabolic activity is about 3 to 5 times that of L-thyroxine. The sodium salt is used in the treatment of hypothyroidism.		2.37202-halophenol;
