Gestational exposure to FireMaster® 550 (FM 550) disrupts the placenta-brain axis in a socially monogamous rodent species, the prairie vole (<i>Microtus ochrogaster</i>)
MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR ENDOCRINOLOGY, 576.
author keywords: Pregnancy; EDCs; Endocrine disruptors; Neurotoxicology; Developmental toxicology; Organophosphate
TL;DR:
Prairie voles are used, a monogamous and bi-parental rodent, leveraged for decades to decipher the underpinnings of social behaviors, to examine the impact of fetal FR exposure on gene targets in the mid-gestational placenta and fetal brain and provide insights on the mechanisms by which FRs impair neurodevelopment and later in life social behaviors.

FRONTIERS IN TOXICOLOGY, 5.
author keywords: endocrine disrupting chemicals; flame retardants; sex difference; osteotoxicology; computed tomography; bone
