Developmental exposure to perchlorate alters synaptic transmission in hippocampus of the adult rat
Developmental exposure to perchlorate alters synaptic transmission in hippocampus of the adult rat
Perchlorate is an environmental contaminant that blocks iodine uptake into the thyroid gland and reduces thyroid hormones. This action of perchlorate raises significant concern over its effects on brain development. The purpose of this study was to evaluate neurologic function in rats after developmental exposure to perchlorate.
