SEX-DEPENDENT NEUROTOXIC EFFECTS OF MALATHION CHRONIC EXPOSURE FROM GESTATION TO YOUNG ADULT STAGE IN OFFSPRING SWISS ALBINO MICE

Abstract

Malathion, is an organophosphate pesticide (OP) commonly used in agriculture, industry, and veterinary medicine. Sex is a crucial factor in responding to neurotoxicants yet the sex-specific effects of OP exposure, particularly neurological impairments following chronic low-level exposure, remains limited. Our study aims to evaluate the neurobehavioral effects of developmental exposure to malathion, and uncover the different vulnerabilities observed across sexes. Pregnant mice were exposed to a low oral dose of malathion from gestation onset up to weaning of the pups, that were individually gavaged with a similar dose regimen until PND70.
