Results for ChlorpyrifosDecreased percentage of embryos developing to blastocycts; increased percentage of apoptosis; decreased mean cell number per embryo |
Subjects: CD-1 mice Chemical: Chlorpyrifos Low doses tested: 0.003 μg/ml Route of administration: dissolved in ethanol and delivered in vitro Exposure duration: gestational day 0 – gestational day 4 (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 1 to day 1 of week 2) Age of measurement: in vitro after 96 hours in culture |

Results for ChlorpyrifosDecreased performance on inclined plane in females; decreased forepaw grip time in males and females |
Subjects: Sprague-Dawley rats Chemical: Chlorpyrifos Low doses tested: 1.0 mg/kg bw/d Route of administration: dissolved in ethanol and delivered dermally Exposure duration: gestational day 4 – gestational day 20 (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 1 to day 1 of week 14) Age of measurement: 90 days of age |
