## Abstract Potassium bromate (KBrO~3~) is a prooxidant and carcinogen, inducing thyroid tumors. Melatonin and indole‐3‐propionic acid (IPA) are effective antioxidants. Some antioxidative effects of propylothiouracil (PTU)—a thyrostatic drug—have been found. The aim of the study was to compare prot
