THYROID HORMONE DISRUPTERS. “Chemical disruption of the thyroid axis using thiourea or methimazole (MMI) delays or stops stomach development in the Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) and otolith mineralization in the Southern flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma). The importance of thyroid hormones during metamorphosis is further emphasized in other flatfish species where they have been shown to be important for the maturation of the muscle, stomach and skin.”
