Abstract:Most research has not been done on the possible relationship between pregnant women' cross-metal exposures and postpartum neuroendocrine functions. The purpose of this study was to look into how co-exposure to aluminium chloride (AlCl3) and cadmium chloride (CdCl2) affected the neuroendocrine and neurometabolic changes in postpartum mice A total of 24 adult pregnant female mice were used for the study. Group 1 comprised pregnant mice (n = 6) treated with AlCl3 (10mg/kg), group 2; CdCl2 (1.5mg/kg), group 3 a co… Show more
