Özet
<p>Aim: Sulfite is one of the most frequently used additives in food,</p><p>drug and cosmetic industry for the sake of its’ antioxidant and</p><p>protective effects. It is especially reported during childhood that,</p><p>attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and related EEG changes</p><p>may be the result of industrial food additives. For this reason, we</p><p>aimed to investigate possible effects of sulfite exposure in</p><p>prenatal and postnatal period.</p><p>Methods: 60 Wistar rats were divided into four equal groups:</p><p>Control group was fed with standard tap water; Group Pre+PostS</p><p>were treated with 100 mg/kg/day sulfite in drinking water in</p><p>prenatal and postnatal periods while same dosages were used for</p><p>Group PreS in prenatal period and for Group PostS in postanal</p><p>period. On days 30th and 60th postnatally EEG recordings were</p><p>performed for each group from frontal and parietal areas and data</p><p>were analyzed by computer assisted spectral Fast Fourier</p><p>Transform (FFT).</p><p>Results: There was a significant increase in Theta/Beta power</p><p>ratio in the PreS group compared to the control group (p<0.05).</p><p>There was not any difference between other groups.</p><p>Conclusions: Sulfite exposure during the prenatal period has</p><p>detrimental effects on</p>
