Results for ChlorpyrifosIncreased Beta-adrenergic receptor binding in the heart of males at post-natal day 60 at 1 mg/kg; increased basal, isoproterenol and forskolin induced activity of adenylyl cyclase in the heart of females at 1 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg; increased sodium fluoride (NaF) induced activity of adenylyl cyclase in the heart of females at post-natal day 60 at 5 mg/kg; decreased isoproterenol, glucagon, NaF and forskolin induced activity of adenylyl cyclase in the heart of males at post-natal day 60 at 5 mg/kg |
Subjects: Sprague-Dawley rats Chemical: Chlorpyrifos Low doses tested: 1.0, 2.0 or 5.0 mg/kg bw/d Other doses tested: 10, 20 or 40 mg/kg Route of administration: dissolved in DMSO and injected subcutaneously Exposure duration: gestational day 17 – gestational day 20 (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 7 to day 1 of week 14) Age of measurement: gestational day 21 and post-natal day 60 |
