A quantitative proteomics study for assessing rodent thyroid toxicity

Here, we aimed to use TMT based quantitative proteomics approach to investigate rodent thyroid toxicity. For this purpose, male Wistar rats have been exposed to a direct (6-propyl-2-thiouracil, PTU) and an indirect (phenytoin) thyroid toxicant, respectively. Thereby, two doses (high, low) and three treatment time points (short, long, and long+recovery) were investigated, allowing insights into the mode of actions during thyroid toxicity. Proteomics were applied to liver and thyroid tissues.
