孕期母鼠接触三丁基氯化锡对子代雌性大鼠发育和性激素的影响

目的 通过对母鼠进行孕期染毒来检测三丁基氯化锡(TBTC)对子代雌性大鼠的发育毒性和性成熟后生殖系统的影响.方法 选择SPF级3月龄的健康成年Wistar大鼠,按雌:雄为2:1比例同笼配种.取妊娠大鼠16只,随机分为4组(1个对照组和3个处理组),于妊娠第12～20天,将对照、低、中、高剂量组分别按0、1.0、2.5、5.0mg/(kg·d)进行灌胃染毒.将出生后第70天的子代雌性大鼠称重后断头处死,称量肝脏、肾脏、子宫、卵巢的重量,计算脏器系数并做病理切片.采用放射免疫法测量血清中促卵泡激素(FSH)、促黄体生成激素(LH)、睾酮(T)、雌二醇(E2)的含量.结果 高、中剂量组体重的增长速度低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P＜0.05).高、中剂量组肾脏重量分别低于对照组,高剂量组卵巢重量低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P＜0.05).且肝脏、肾脏重量随着染毒剂量的升高而降低.各剂量组肝脏、肾脏、子宫、卵巢的脏器系数间比较,差异均无统计学意义(P＞0.05).高剂量组FSH、E2水平均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05).各剂量组血清中均未检测出T.各剂量组肝脏、肾脏、子宫、卵巢的组织切片均未见明显的病理学改变.结论 孕期母鼠接触TBTC,可抑制子代雌性大鼠的生长发育,并可引起FSH及E2水平的升高.

Effect of Tributyltin Chloride Exposure in Gestation on Development and Sex Hormone Level of Female Offspring Rats

Objective To explore the developmental toxicity of tributyltin chloride and the effects on sex hormone in female offspring rats through maternal gestation exposure. Methods Pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups, 4 in each group. They were treated with TBTC by gavage at the dose of 0, 1, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg bw respectively from days 12-20 of gestation. 10 female offspring rats were randomly selected from each group and killed on postnatal day 70. The liver, kidney, uterus and ovary were weighed and the organ indexes were calculated. Pathological examination for liver, kidney, uterus and ovary were performed. Follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), luteotropic hormone(LH), testosterone(T) and estradiol(E2) in serum was determined by radioimmunity method. Results Increase of body weight in 2.5, 5 mg/kg bw groups significantly decreased(P<0.05), kidney and ovary weight in 5 mg/kg bw group significantly decreased(P<0.05) compared with the control. There were no significant differences among all organ(liver, kidney, uterus and ovary) indexes. No obvious pathological changes were observed in all groups. The serum concentration of FSH and E2 in 5 mg/kg bw group increased significantly compared with the control(P<0.05), however, no difference was seen in serum concentration of LH between TBTC-treatment groups and the control. Conclusion Gestation exposed to TBTC could retard female offspring rats' development and affect their sex hormone level in serum.
