Outline of Final Research Achievements

To investigate effects of prenatal dioxin exposure on neurodevelopment of offspring, we performed measurements of testosterone (TS) in umbilical cord blood and neonatal EEG at birth and neurodevelopmental tests at 6 months, 2 years, and 3 years of age in offsprings living in exposed areas around former American air base. In girl, TS in cord blood were inversely correlated with total Toxicity Equivalency Quantity (TEQ), and in boys, TS levels in high TCDD group (TCDD >= 5.5 pg) were significantly lower compared with low TCDD group (TCDD < 5.5). In boys, EEG power at 4-7 Hz of electrode O was correlated with total TEQ, but in girls, EEG power at 2-3 Hz of electrode C inversely correlated with total TEQ. At 2 years of age, toddlers who showed delay of language development were significantly more frequent in high TCDD boys. In mothers with high TCDD in breast milk, female offspring was more frequent, suggesting endocrine disrupture effects on gender ratio at birth in high TCDD group.
