12111003 Imamura L, Hasegawa H, Kurashina K, Matsuno T, Tsuda M: Neonatal exposure of newborn mice to pyrethroid (permethrin) represses activity-dependent c-fos mRNA expression in cerebellum. Arch Toxicol. 2002 Jul;76(7):392-7. Epub 2002 May 29.

In a previous report, we demonstrated that the exposure of cultured mouse cerebellar granule cells to permethrin, a type I pyrethroid insecticide, repressed the induction of activity-dependent c- fos and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene expression, accompanying a decrease in Ca (2+) influx into neurons.

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2000 Dec;295(3):1175-82.

The membrane depolarization induced by elevating the potassium (K (+)) concentration in medium (high K (+)) caused the activation of c-fos and BDNF genes, which was also repressed by permethrin.

In our previous study, we reported that permethrin and some other pyrethroid insecticides, which are suspected of being EDs, repressed the induction of c-fos and BDNF mRNA expression, accompanying a reduction of Ca2+ influx at doses non-toxic to CGCs.
