PG - 151621 LID - S0065-1281(20)30120-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.acthis.2020.151621 [doi] AB - The aim of this study is to draw attention to the possible effects of chlorpyrifos exposure on the developing rat hippocampus in the prenatal period and to determine whether these effects can be reduced with various antioxidant substances. Pregnant rats were divided into 7 groups.; Chlorpyrifos (CPF), Curcumin (CUR), Ganoderma lucidum (GNL), Chlorpyrifos + Curcumin (CPF + CUR), Chlorpyrifos + Ganoderma lucidum, (CPF + GNL), SHAM and Control (C). After the experiments, brain tissues were evaluated by stereological and immunohistochemical methods. As a result of the stereological analyzes, it was determined that the number of pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus of the CPF group decreased significantly from all other groups. In contrast, the number of neurons in the CPF + CUR and CPF + GNL groups was significantly higher than the CPF group. In addition, immunohistochemical analyzes showed that the density of cells stained with glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP) positive in all areas in the hippocampus of the rats in the CPF group was significantly higher compared to the control group, whereas in the CPF + CUR and CPF + GNL groups were less than the CPF group. As a result, the exposure of CPF in the prenatal period caused neurotoxicity in the brain hippocampus, whereas CUR and GNL reduced this toxicity caused by CPF. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier GmbH.
