The study revealed a negative association between DEHP metabolites and thyroid hormone levels, with FT4 levels in males positively correlated with DEHP metabolites. DEHP may affect TG synthesis by altering the normal transcription of TTF-1 and PAX-8, resulting in decreased TT4 levels in Chinese adolescents.
Our study aimed to investigate the associations between DEHP exposure and serum thyroid hormone levels in 347 adolescents and young adults. We measured DEHP metabolites including mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP), mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate (MECPP), and mono(2-carboxymethyl)hexyl phthalate (MCMHP) in their urine. Total thyroxine (TT4), total triiodothyronine, free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone and the mRNA levels of thyroid peroxidase (TPO), thyroglobulin (TG), sodium iodide symporter (NIS), thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), and paired box gene 8 (PAX-8) in serum were measured. The results of statistical analysis showed that urinary DEHP metabolites were generally negatively associated with TT4 levels in serum. In the males, the FT4 levels showed positive associations with urinary MEHP, MECPP, MCMHP, and n-ary sumation DEHP. The mRNA level of TG was significantly positively correlated with the levels of MECPP, MCMHP, and n-ary sumation DEHP, while the levels of TTF-1 and PAX-8 mRNA were significantly positively correlated with the levels of DEHP metabolites. Taken together, DEHP may affect the synthesis of TG by altering the normal transcription of TTF-1 and PAX-8, leading to decreased TT4 levels in Chinese adolescents.
