Using the Adverse Outcome Pathway Framework as a Guide for the Development of 
High-Throughput Screening Assays for Thyroid-Disrupting Chemicals

Disruption of thyroid hormones (THs) adversely affects neurodevelopment in both 
rodent models and humans.  Therefore it is critical to determine the potential 
thyroid-disrupting activity of environmentally-relevant chemicals, but the 
complexity of thyroid hormone regulation necessitates screening assays for 
multiple molecular initiating events that are not currently associated with any 
screening assays. The system of adverse outcome pathways for thyroid 
disruption, the development of a high-throughput screening assay for the 
detection of thyroperoxidase inhibitors, and future thyroid-disruptor screening 
challenges and potential approaches will be discussed.
