Results for ChlorpyrifosIncreased locomotion; increased push-under (soliciting) response; increased agonistic responses among males |
Subjects: CD-1 mice Chemical: Chlorpyrifos Low doses tested: 1.0 or 3.0 mg/kg bw/d Route of administration: dissolved in DMSO and injected sub-cutaneously Exposure duration: post-natal day 11 – post-natal day 14 (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 28 to day 1 of week 32) Age of measurement: through adulthood |

Results for ChlorpyrifosIncreased frequency and duration of attack response at 3 mg/kg day; increased frequency and duration of crouching (maternal behavior); decreased frequency of licking; increased duration of licking; decreased frequency and duration of sniffing; increased time spent in open arms of plus-maze for females at 3.0 mg/kg |
Subjects: CD-1 mice Chemical: Chlorpyrifos Low doses tested: 1.0 or 3.0 mg/kg bw/d Route of administration: dissolved in peanut oil and injected sub-cutaneously Exposure duration: post-natal day 11 – post-natal day 14 (comparable to human prenatal development from approximately day 1 of week 28 to day 1 of week 32) Age of measurement: 60 through 120 days of age |

Results for ChlorpyrifosDecreased locomotor activity during the first session of a social recognition test; increased latency in building the nest in pregnant females; decreased latency of first maternal licking; shorter latency to enter the light compartment during the dark-light test; decreased frequency of aggressive attacks and increased social investigation toward a male intruder; increased frequency of digging behavior. |
