Diclofenac sodium (DS) is commonly used as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Although several adverse effects are clearly established, it is still unknown whether prenatal exposure to DS has an effect on the development of the cerebellum. In this study, we investigated the total number of Purkinje cells of the cerebellum in a control group and in a DS-treated group of male rats using a stereological method. The DS in a dose of 1 mg/kg daily was intraperitoneally injected to the drug-treated group of pregnant rats beginning from the 5th day after mating for a period of 15 days during pregnancy. Physiological serum at 1 ml dose was intraperitoneally injected to the control group of pregnant rats at the same period. After delivery, male offspring were obtained and each main group was divided into two subgroups that were 4-week-old (4W-old) and 20-week-old (20W-old). Our results showed that the total number of Purkinje cells in offspring of drug-treated rats was significantly lower than in the offspring of control animals. These results suggest that the Purkinje cells of a developing cerebellum may be affected by administration of DS during the prenatal period. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
