Herr, D W., S. M. Chanda, J. E. Graff, S Barone, R P. Beliles, AND D. L. Morgan. EVALUATION OF SENSORY EVOKED POTENTIALS IN LONG EVANS RATS GESTATIONALLY EXPOSED TO MERCURY (HGO) VAPOR. TOXICOLOGICAL SCIENCES 82:193-206, (2004).

Impact/Purpose:

To evaluate the effect of gestational exposure of Long Evans rats to mercury vapor on sensory evoked potentials

Description:

Human exposure to mercury vapor (Hg0) has been reported to result in sensory disturbances. Developmental exposure to toxicants may result in long-lasting changes in neural function. This manuscript describes the lack of effect of gestational exposure of Long Evans rats to Hg0 on sensory evoked potentials when tested as adults. The data indicate that no long-term changes in the function of peripheral nerves, or the visual, auditory, or somatosensory systems was produced by Hg0. The findings of this research may be informative when considering the developmental toxicity of Hg0.
