Maternal exposure to deltamethrin during pregnancy and lactation impairs hippocampal learning and memory function of male offspring by ferroptosis by Shasha Huang, Wanqi Li, Dengke Wang, Huiwen Feng, Bo Wang, Xinyu Dong, Wei Zhao, Dan Liu, Yuan Wang

“…Our results showed that maternal exposure to DM reduced T-maze correctness and the number of hippocampal neurons, and increased shuttle box passive avoidance rate. Moreover, maternal exposure to DM increased the expression of ferrous ion, malondialdehyde (MDA) and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) protein, and decreased the glutathione (GSH) level in the hippocampus, which was contributed to ferroptosis by p53-mediated solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) axis in the male offspring. …”
