Lead exposure and diet: differential effects on social development in the rhesus monkey
N K Laughlin et al. Neurotoxicol Teratol. 1991 Jul-Aug.
Abstract
Infant rhesus monkeys ingested 0 or 1.0 mg/kg lead acetate daily from birth to one year postpartum in dietary milk. Half the monkeys in each group were offered milk ad lib, and half were given restricted quantities. Chow was available ad lib to all monkeys. Groups of 4 monkeys interacted for 1.5 h/day, 5 days/week beginning at approximately 2 months of age. The social sessions were moved to a larger arena at about 9 months postpartum. Ongoing behavior was observed during social sessions twice weekly beginning at about 3 months of age for 28 weeks, and again beginning at about 16 months of age for 11 weeks. Play behaviors were particularly susceptible to lead; social play was more severely disrupted than nonsocial play. Lead suppressed play in both test environments during the first year postpartum while self-stimulation and fearful behaviors increased. Lead-associated alterations in behavior were still present several months following termination of lead intake. Restriction of milk resulted in increased chow consumption but had little impact on behavior. Effects of lead may have been more profound in monkeys maintained on the restricted milk diet than in monkeys given milk ad lib.
