Research grant awarded to study the impact of dieldrin exposure on placental serotonin and its potential link to Parkinson’s disease risk through developmental neurotoxicity mechanisms.
Description
This project investigates the role of placental serotonin (5HT) disruption as an indirect mechanism of developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) related to dieldrin exposure, and how developmental dieldrin exposure affects fetal and neonatal monoamine systems, potentially influencing the risk of Parkinson’s disease later in life.
