摘要: 目的:探讨胚胎早期甲基汞低剂量暴露对大鼠仔代的行为致畸效应。方法:Wistar 大鼠雌性80 只、雄性20 只以3 :1 交配,大鼠随机分为4 组,于妊娠6~9 d 用氯化甲基汞0. 00 mg/ (kg·bw·d) 、0. 01 mg/ (kg·bw·d) 、0. 05 mg/ (kg·bw·d) 、2. 00 mg/(kg·bw·d) 灌胃染毒。进行胚胎毒性研究;记录201 只仔鼠出生后早期生理发育和神经行为发育指标;10 周龄的仔鼠32 只进行操作行为测试;24 只进行脑组织形态学检查和单胺类神经递质(去甲肾上腺素、多巴胺、52羟色胺) 测定(荧光分光光度法) 。结果:胚胎早期低剂量甲基汞对胎仔体重及尾长发育有抑制作用( P < 0. 01) ,暴露组仔鼠的体重增长、早期生理发育及神经行为发育滞后于对照组( P < 0. 05 或P < 0. 01) ;操作行为成绩均比对照组降低( P < 0. 05 或P < 0. 01) ;3 个暴露组仔鼠均未观察到脑组织形态学改变,但单胺类神经递质含量均比对照组显著增高( P < 0. 05 或P < 0. 01) 。所有结果呈现出剂量2反应关系。结论 胚胎早期低剂量甲基汞暴露有一定的胚胎毒性,可影响仔鼠神经系统的发育,导致行为改变。

Abstract: Purpose : To detect the neurobehavioral teratogenic effect of methylmercury exposure at early embryonic stage on off spring. Methods : Methylmercury chloride was force2fed to the Wistar rat s during the 6th~9th day after conception at doses of 0. 00 mg/ (kg·bw·d) , 0. 01 mg/ (kg·bw·d) , 0. 05 mg/ (kg·bw·d) and 2. 00mg/ (kg·bw·d) . The toxicity in the embryos , developmental landmarks of 201 off spring and operant behavior test of 32 off spring were measured. The brain morphology and the levels of monamine neurot ransmitters (NA ,DA , 52HT) were tested in 24 off spring at 10 weeks old. Double blind was used in whole experiment . Results :In 3 exposure groups , the body weight and tail development of embryos were slower ( P < 0. 01) , the early developmental landmarks and neurobehavioral development of off spring were delayed ( P < 0. 05) , and their performances in operant behavior were worse than those of the cont rol group ( P < 0. 05) . No histomorphological alteration in the off spring brains was observed in all groups. The levels of monamine neurot ransmitters in brains of 3 exposure groups were increased ( P < 0. 05) . Some result s showed a dose2effect relationship. Conclusion : Early pregnant exposure to methylmercury at a low dose showed some embryotoxicity and adverse effect s on the developing nervous system of the rat off spring and also resulted in neurobehavioral changes.
