How does Toxicology impact TSH levels?


Exposure to certain chemicals and toxins can disrupt the normal production and regulation of TSH. For instance, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins are well-known for their potential to interfere with thyroid function. These substances can alter TSH levels either by directly affecting pituitary function or by disrupting the feedback loop between the thyroid gland and the pituitary.
