PG - 83-5 AB - OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of perinatal exposure sulphamethazine on the function of thyroid gland of SD rats. METHODS: Dams were given sulphamethazine 0, 50, 100 and 200 mg/(kg x d) respectively from gestational day (GD) 7 to postpartum day (P) 21. The sections of thyroid gland of pups 20 days after birth were stained by hematoxylin-eosin, and the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were observed by immunohistochemistry staining. RESULTS: Compare with control, thyroid gland showed proliferation of follicular epithelium in each experimental group, and the numbers of PCNA positive cells in thyroid gland significantly higher than that of control (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Perinatal exposure to sulphamethazine may affect the function of thyroid gland of offspring.
