Perchlorate, a kind of inorganic chemical, is mainly used in defense industry and widely used in other civilian areas. It was well known that perchlorate exerts its thyrotoxicant effect on thyroid homeostasis via competitive inhibition of iodide uptake. However, some

We report on electrochemically prepared hydrogel layers of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (pNIPAm) and on the influence that the supporting electrolyte has on their thickness and morphology. Ions that are destabilizing in the Hofmeister sense increase the thickness. The effect correlates well with

This paper explores the possibility of increasing the ballistic performance of gun propellant with the addition of inorganic additives viz. aluminium and ammonium perchlorate. Compositions based on propellant NQ containing additional aluminium and ammonium perchlorate in different parts were studied

The objective of this research was to characterize the disturbances in the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis resulting from exposure to a binary mixture, 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126) and perchlorate (ClO(4)(-)), known to cause hypothyroidism by different modes of action. Two studies were conducted
