Results for Chlorpyrifos

Increased lose-shift errors in T-maze delayed-alternation task in both males and females treated gestationally with 5.0 mg/kg. With a gradual increase in the number of errors in males at the longest delay time of 60 seconds.

Subjects: ICR mice

Chemical: Chlorpyrifos

Low doses tested: 1.0 or 5.0 mg/kg bw/d

Route of administration: dissolved in DMSO and injected subcutaneously

Exposure duration: gestational day 13 – gestational day 17 (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 6 to day 1 of week 9)

Age of measurement: post-natal day 45 through post-natal day 60
