Tributyltin chloride (TBT) is an environmental contaminant that used as a biocide in antifouling paints. TBT has been shown to induce endocrine-disrupting effects. However, studies evaluating the effects of on hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are especially rare. The current study demonstrates exposure critically responsible for improper function mammalian HPA well development abnormal morphophysiology pituitary and adrenal glands. Female rats were treated with TBT, their was...
Tributyltin chloride (TBT) is an organotin compound that reduces estrogen levels in female rats. We aimed to investigate the effects of TBT exposure on vascular tonus and remodelling resistance arteries Rats were treated daily with (500 ng/kg) for 15 days. did not change arterial blood pressure but modify some morpho-physiological parameters third-order mesenteric following ways: (1) decreased lumen external diameters; (2) increased wall/lm ratio wall thickness; (3) distensibility stiffness;...
