Comparison of serotonin-immunoreactive (SER-IR) neurons in nucleus raphe dorsalis (NRD) and median raphe nucleus (MRN) of 25-d-old rat pups exposed to 70 mg/kg/d 2,4-dichloro-phenoxyacetic acid through mothers milk and control pups was made using an immunohistochemical analysis. Significant 2,4-D-treatment-related increase in size and density of SER-IR neuronal somata as well as in fiber length were observed. We postulate that exposure to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on the first day of life would modify the synthesis of 5-HT or the maturation of the brain serotonergic system.

D007774 Lactation The processes of milk secretion by the maternal MAMMARY GLANDS after PARTURITION. The proliferation of the mammary glandular tissue, milk synthesis, and milk expulsion or let down are regulated by the interactions of several hormones including ESTRADIOL; PROGESTERONE; PROLACTIN; and OXYTOCIN.
