Methylmercury was administered to male rats mixed in the rat food. The period of administration was 30 days. The effects on the rats exposed to a level of 100 ppm of methylmercury were evaluated from the 6th week to the time of death, based on the locomo...

متن کاملEffects of prenatal cocaine exposure and postnatal environment on child development.
Studies on the long-term developmental effects of in utero cocaine exposure are few and the small number of studies published do not consider the postnatal environment. The present investigation was conducted to quantify the role that postnatal environment played compared to prenatal exposure. Four groups of 25 infants, each assessed at 12 months of age, were included in the study design: 1) no...
