Parabens (PBs) are a class of preservatives commonly used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Studies have shown that these compounds may act as endocrine disruptors, affecting thyroxine levels in humans. PBs with longer chain substituents, such as butylparaben (BuP), are less prone to complete biotransformation and are therefore more likely to accumulate in the body. In this study, the effect of high-dose exposure to BuP on thyroid microstructure, ultrastructure, and function was investigated in rats. 50 mg/kg bw per day of BuP was injected subcutaneously into the neck of rats for 4 weeks. Rat thyroid weight, microstructure, and ultrastructure were determined, and the levels of thyroid sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), serum thyroid hormones, and thyroid autoantibodies were measured. The human thyroid cell line was used to study the mechanism of BuP on thyroid epithelial cells. The weight of the thyroid gland of BuP-exposed rats was increased, the structure of the thyroid follicles was irregular and damaged, the mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum were swollen and damaged, and the microvilli at the tip of the epithelium were reduced and disappeared. Serum total T3, total T4, free T3, and free T4 were decreased in BuP-exposed rats, and TSH, peroxidase antibody, and thyroglobulin antibody were increased. In vitro, BuP decreased the level of NIS in thyroid epithelial cells, inhibited proliferation and viability, and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. This study demonstrated that high-dose exposure to BuP induced structural, ultrastructural, and functional impairment to the thyroid gland of rats, which may be one of the factors leading to hypothyroidism.
