Abstract

Maternal exposure to TCDD was suggested to attenuate LH production during the perinatal stage, and the supplementation of α-lipoic acid to TCDD-exposed pregnant dams showed a recovery effect on the attenuated LH production during the gestational period. Therefore, it was expected that α-lipoic acid supplementation would have a recovery effect on the retardation of the male offspring’s sexual immaturity induced by maternal exposure to TCDD. This study suggests that maternal supplementation with α-lipoic acid has a restoring effect on the decreased SDN-POA volume, which is an indicator of sexual differentiation in male offspring.
