Sensitive Biochemical and Behavioral Indicators of Trace Substance Exposure. Part 1. Cerium

摘要

At various times after exposure of the adult mouse to single or repeated (multiple) doses of Cerium (Ce) citrate, the tissue/organ distribution and effects of Ce on selected behavioral parameters (ambutations and rearings in the open field, hole-in-board exploratory behavior, passive and active avoidance learning, and an aspect of social behavior) were investigated. Effects of Ce on the gravid and lactating female and on parameters of embryonic, fetal and postnatal development and behavior of offspring of Ce exposed dams also were studied.
