This issue presents the detailed review paper (DRP) on thyroid hormone disruption assays that was prepared for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and that exists as an OECD monograph. However, this document is now available here in one issue of Critical Reviews in Toxicology as a series of published articles. The original document has been modified in several ways. First, an overview (now article 2) was added to discuss how new data and new directions for thyroid research will play an important role in shaping thyroid assays as they evolve. Second, each of the original chapters of the thyroid DRP have been separated into individual papers. The appendices of the original DRP were removed and will be merged and published separately.
本期发表了为经济合作与发展组织(OECD)编写的关于甲状腺激素干扰试验的详细综述论文(DRP),该论文以OECD专著形式存在。然而,本文档现在作为一系列已发表文章,在《毒理学评论》的一期中呈现。原始文档在几个方面进行了修改。首先,增加了一个概述(现为第2篇文章),以讨论甲状腺研究的新数据和新方向将如何在甲状腺试验不断发展的过程中发挥重要作用。其次,甲状腺DRP的各原始章节已被拆分为独立的论文。原始DRP的附录已被删除,将合并并单独发表。
