| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The neurotoxic effects of tributyltin (TBT) on the F1 Tokai High Avoider rats which achieved high learning ability were evaluated by the Sidman electric shock avoidance test and open field test. The F1 rats were exposed to TBT via the placenta, their dams' milk and/or their food or via their food only. The mean values of body weight in the TBT-exposed rats were significantly lower than those of respective control. The avoidance rates of the TBT-exposed rats in the Sidman electric shock avoidance test were significantly lower than those in the control. The locomotor distance of the TBT-exposed rats in the open field test were significantly lower than the respective control over the several time intervals. The number of wall rearing of the TBT-exposed rats were also significantly lower than that of the respective control. The neurotoxic effects were most evident when the rats were exposed to TBT via the placenta, their dams' milk and their food.
