| Research Abstract |
We developed evaluation methods for effects of environmental chemicals on the central nervous systems. First of all, the method for the quantification of DNA damage by chemicals in tissues and cultured cells was developed. Using the method, we evaluated apoptotic effects of diethyl phthalate parabens and a stevioside. Secondly, we developed an evaluation method for effects of chemicals on cell differentiation in PC12 cells. In addition, the evaluation method to detect apoptosis induced by metals and chelated metals was developed.
