英文摘要	The widespread use of neonicotinoids has resulted in large residues in the soil, which has a major impact on the lizards that inhabit the soil. Thyroid hormones play an important role in the growth and development of lizards. In this report, we assessed the disrupting effects of thyroid system on lizards after 28 days of continuous exposure to dinotefuran, thiamethoxam, and imidacloprid, respectively. Neonicotinoid insecticides could seriously affect the concentration of T4 in lizard plasma and the conversion of T4 to T3 in the thyroid gland. Specifically, exposure to dinotefuran affected the intake and utilization of iodine in the thyroid gland, resulting in insufficient thyroid function, which in turn lead to thyroid epithelial hyperplasia and follicular volume enlargement by negative feedback. Exposure to thiamethoxam could activate thyroid function, significantly increasing plasma T3 and T4 concentrations and promoting the binding of T3 and thyroid hormone receptors. lmidacloprid exposure could inhibit the secretion of thyroid hormones, leading to down-regulation of thyroid hormone receptors and related phase II metabolic enzyme genes. This study verified that the continuous exposure of neonicotinoids could affect the lizard thyroid endocrine system. The harm of neonicotinoids to reptiles deserved more attention.
