1 Systemic application of pyrethroid insecticides evokes differential expression of c-Fos and c-Jun proteins in rat brain. Pyrethrins Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
2 Expression of the c-Fos and c-Jun transcription factor was investigated by immunocytochemistry in the thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus and cortex of adult rats following intraperitoneal application of proconvulsant doses of the pyrethroid insecticides, cypermethrin and permethrin. Pyrethrins Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
3 Our results demonstrate that the neurotoxic effects of pyrethroid insecticides comprise molecular genetic alterations in the brain such as early and lasting induction of Fos and Jun transcription factor proteins. Pyrethrins Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
