Abstract

The study evaluated the effects of prenatal exposure to manganese (Mn) on the functional state of offspring at later stages of postnatal development (PND). Female rats were treated with MnSO₄·5H₂O in the diet at a dose of 1433 mg/kg starting 28 days prior to breeding and through gestation. The pregnancy proceeded normally, no physical abnormalities were observed. There was a lag in physical development of the offspring, which was characterized by a later opening of the eyes, the formation of a coat and the eruption of incisors, the weight gain was attenuated from PND 0-84. Offspring had hyperactive behavior and deterioration in spatial learning and memory. The level of Mn in the blood serum and cerebral cortex was higher than the control values by 11 % and 53 % respectively. The acetylcholinesterase level in the serum was higher by 47 %. These findings highlight the risk of prenatal exposure to subchronic doses of Mn.
