  16. Summary • PTU at 0.0015% in drinking water is a reproductive toxicant based upon reduction in F1 litter size • Thyroid hormones (T4 and TSH) were altered at both 0.0004% and 0.0015% PTU • Thyroid hyperplasia and degeneration of testicular germinal epithelium were noted at all dose levels • Degeneration of the testicular germinal epithelium was the only observable effects of PTU at 0.0001%
