“…Neurotrophic factors are also potential targets of lead neurotoxicity because intracerebroventricular application of NGF protected rat pups exposed to lead through the dam's drinking water (0.2% lead acetate) from lead-induced loss of septal cholinergic neurons. However, these tissues did not accumulate lead (Zhou et al 2000). A recent study reported that the NGF's effect on rats postnatally exposed to lead was mediated by alterations in NGF receptor p75 and trkA.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
