| Research Abstract |
The influences of exposure to PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) are reported by epidemiological studies and animal studies. Though n-EtFOSE (n-ethylperfluorooctane sulfonate amide ethanol) is one of the materials for PFOS synthesis, it is not well known about its influences. We conducted the in utero n-EtFOSE exposure study. We showed that in utero exposure to N-EtFOSE causes the effects to the development and functions of placenta resulted in the fetal growth delay.
