The biochemical and morphological effects of postnatal acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition were examined in rat pups dosed with parathion, at time points critical to hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptogenesis (i.e., day 5-20). In treated pups, sacrificed on day 21, hippocampal histopathology, as assessed by light and electron microscopy, consisted of cellular disruption and necrosis in the dentate gyrus (DG), and CA4 regions. Synaptic disruption in the DG molecular layer was suggested by histochemical preparation using both the Timm's and AChE stains. In parathion-treated pups, sampled at day 12, hippocampal AChE was depressed 73% and [3H] quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) binding was depressed by 36%. The above results indicate that morphological and biochemical consequences are associated with persistent AChE depression in neonatal rats.
