Abstract

Chlorobenzenes have often been applied to study persistent organic pollutants with endocrine disruptor effects (POP/EDCs), but with the focus mainly on physiological aspects. Few data exist on the effects of chlorobenzenes and most POP/EDCs on anxiety or other arginine-vasopressin (AVP)- and oxytocin (OXT)-mediated behavior, albeit exposure to POP/EDCs or their ambient mixtures, even in low doses, may pose health risks for subjects living in contaminated areas and/or consuming polluted food. Our primary aim was therefore to demonstrate behavioral effects of longterm exposure to a discrete dose of a chlorobenzene mixture, and to draw attention to the results of subtoxic oral exposure on anxiety-related elements and the possible underlying endocrine processes. Adult male Wistar rats were treated daily with a mixture (ClB) of 1 μg/kg each of hexachlorobenzene and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene via a gastric tube for 30, 60 or 90 days. After exposure, anxiety-related behavioral elements were determined in open-field and elevated plus maze tests. At euthanasia, the plasma levels of AVP, OXT and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) were measured. Simultaneously, pituicytes from subjects were cultured to study the levels of basal and serotonin- or norepinephrinestimulated AVP and OXT secretion. Various anxiety-related behavioral elements were observed to be increased in both tests. The plasma AVP, OXT and ACTH concentrations were increased, to extents depending on the duration of exposure.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Long-term exposure to chlorobenzenes may disrupt neurohypophysial AVP and OT release.

    “A single paper also suggests that long-term exposure to chlorobenzenes (solvents) may also disrupt neurohypophysial AVP and OT release (149).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
