Postpartum exposure to 300 mg/kg of DEHP significantly reduced corticosterone levels while 500 mg/kg of DEHP increases corticosterone and ACTH levels and 10 mg/kg of DEHP triggers glucocorticoid receptor [GR] in the HPA axis, resulting in anxiety-like behavior in premature rats (175). The gene discussed is NR3C1; the disease is Anxiety.
