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.

By: W. Marinello n, S. Gillera n, Y. Han*, J. Richardson*, G. St Armour n, B. Horman n, H. Patisaul n

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.
