The article presents the results of the impact of cultivated plants grown in summer cottage areas of three industrial regions of Central Kazakhstan on the behavioral responses of rats. It was found that prolonged feeding (three months) with vegetables, grown in areas contaminated with heavy metals, caused inhibition of locomotor activity, exploratory activity, duration of freezing behavior and lack of visits to the center that is regarded as the increase of anxiety level of rats. The results showed inhibition of behavioral responses,that testifies of the neurotoxic effect of vegetables grown in the neighbourhood of industrial regions.

Abstract


The article presents the results of the impact of cultivated plants grown in summer cottage areas of three industrial regions of Central Kazakhstan on the behavioral responses of rats. It was found that prolonged feeding (three months) with vegetables, grown in areas contaminated with heavy metals, caused inhibition of locomotor activity, exploratory activity, duration of freezing behavior and lack of visits to the center that is regarded as the increase of anxiety level of rats. The results showed inhibition of behavioral responses,that testifies of the neurotoxic effect of vegetables grown in the neighbourhood of industrial regions.
