Rats were treated with 25, 50 or 75 mg/kg chlordecone and initial exposure occurred either on the morning before mating or on the morning after mating. When exposure occurred on the morning of proestrus, mating behavior 8 to 9 hours was significantly reduced by 50 or 75 mg/kg chlordecone. Yet, when housed overnight with sexually experienced males, most females showed sperm in the vaginal smear. However, only 23% of the 50 mg/kg group and none of the 75 mg/kg group delivered offspring. Females given 25 mg/kg chlordecone showed behavior and fertility identical to oil injected controls. When females were treated with chlordecone after mating, 41% of the females given 50 mg/kg chlordecone produced litters while 33% of the 75 mg/kg females delivered offspring. Under both conditions, fertility was substantially reduced. In previous studies, chlordecone's reduction of the preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge has been offered as an explanation for the pesticide's reproductive deficits. The present studies indicate that the failure of chlordecone-treated females to ovulate cannot totally account for the decreased fertility.</p>","PeriodicalId":19112,"journal":{"name":"Neurobehavioral toxicology and teratology","volume":"8 2","pages":"121-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13570682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chronic prenatal exposure to 60% O2 reduced hatchability but did not affect mean hatching time. Although previous research has shown that hyperoxic treatment accelerates growth in chick embryos until the 18th day of incubation, experimental chicks weighed either the same (Experiment 1) or less (Experiment 2) than controls at hatching. Prenatal exposure to hyperoxia depressed rate of acquisition, but not final performance level in both discrimination tasks. The initial performance deficit appeared to reflect a temporary depression of activity or arousal, possibly due to a relatively greater hypothermia in experimental chicks. This general pattern of results was attributed to premature depletion of essential nutrients within the egg as a result of oxygen-induced growth acceleration.</p>","PeriodicalId":19112,"journal":{"name":"Neurobehavioral toxicology and teratology","volume":"8 2","pages":"163-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14832635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the frontal cerebral cortex, decreased S-100 and DNA concentrations were found to be concomitant with a decreased wet weight of the area, suggesting an atrophy which also affects the astroglial cells. This atrophy also is reflected in decreased DNA concentrations found after exposure at 60 ppm in this region of the brain.

Offspring of drug-treated dams had longer latencies than controls on the first day of negative geotaxis training, and were more sensitive to electric footshock. Lidocaine-dosed offspring responded less in the presence of the correct cue in the visual discrimination task, and mepivacaine-dosed animals were hypoactive in the open field.

Dosing had no effect upon birth and growth, shuttle box, or footshock sensitivity. These data demonstrate that midgestational exposure to lidocaine or mepivacaine at a dose near the limits of permissible human exposure produces significant behavioral changes in the offspring.
