Abstract
We studied histophysiology of the adrenal medulla in adult (70-day-old) male Wistar rats developmentally exposed to low doses of endocrine disruptor DDT. It was found that exposure to DDT during the prenatal and postnatal ontogeny decelerated the development of the adrenal medulla and reduced the synthesis of tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-liming enzyme of catecholamine synthesis, in chromaffin cells, which led to a decrease in epinephrine secretion into the blood.Entities:
