DE-71 flame retardant causes autism-like behaviors, deregulates hypothalamic oxytocin, vasopressin, PACAP.
Enduring autism-like phenotypes and deregulated hypothalamic prosocial peptides after early-life exposure to indoor flame retardants in male C57BL/6 mice.
Abstract
Maternal transfer of DE-71 flame retardants induced lasting autism-like phenotypes and deregulated oxytocin, vasopressin, and PACAP systems in male mouse offspring.
