Results for Dioxin (TCDD)Increased pH3 expression and increased external granular layer thickness on post-natal day 10. Decreased BrdU indicating a reduced number of granule neuroblasts on post-natal day 10. Increased Bax expression on post-natal days 8 and 10 with increased levels and abnormal patterns of apoptsis. Reduced DNA content and GABARAα6 in cerebellar tissue collected post-natal day 21 |
Subjects: C57BL/6J mice Chemical: Dioxin (TCDD) Low doses tested: 1.0 μg/kg bw Route of administration: dissolved in olive oil and administered by gavage Exposure duration: post-natal day 6 – single dose (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 22 to day 1 of week 23) Age of measurement: post-natal days 7, 8, 10, and 21 |
