Abstract:
The influence of perauorinated compounds (PFCs) on human health has increasingly been recognized. Recent studies have shown that PFCs are associated with the incidences of tumors, neurotoxicities, reproductive toxicity, and metabolic syndrome. However, the relationship between PFCs and thyroid diseases remains unclear. While some foreign studies have explored their potential correlations, the findings were still controversial due to different methodologies and populations. This article reviews the recent advances in the research on the relationship between PFCs and thyroid function.
