S. Wikoff and L. Birnbaum thyroid hormone disruption and delayed developmental neurotoxicity [8]. Neonatal exposure to DecaBDE in mice resulted in a dose-related reduction of serum thyroxine levels in males and delayed development of the palpebral reflex in infants [9], and disruption of normal sex- and age- specific characteristics of spontaneous locomotion in adults.
