Does thromboxane mediate the indirect contractile action of leukotriene D4 in guinea-pig isolated lung parenchyma under equilibrium conditions?

abstract：: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 (r...
