Rats fed a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixture in a high- or low-iodine diet (HID or LID, respectively) for 15 days had thyroid enlargement, low serum thyroxine (T4), and high serum thyrotropin concentrations. Although binding of thyroid hormones to serum proteins was reduced in PCB-fed animals, the free T4 index (reflecting free T4 in serum) was less in these rats. Both serum triiodothyronine (T3) and the free T3 index were elevated in rats fed PCB in HID. LID-maintained rats had elevated serum T3 concentrations but the free T3 index was similar to that in HID-fed rats, owing to enhanced binding of thyroid hormone to serum proteins. Addition of PCB to LID reduced serum T3 levels but did not alter the free T3 index because binding was less. In rats fed HID containing PCB, thyroid 131I uptake was increased.
