Unexpected Lack of Deleterious Effects of Uranium on Physiological Systems following a Chronic Oral Intake in Adult Rat

Figure 11

Effect of chronic ingestion of uranium on cholinergic pathway in the entorhinal cortex. The measurements were measured in control animals (NC: noncontaminated) and in animals contaminated by uranium in their drinking water at various concentrations (0.2, 2, 20, 40, and 120 mg/L). Results are expressed as mean ± SD (𝑛=8–10). *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01: significantly different from control values.
