Effects of acute and prolonged naphthalene exposure on brain monoaminergic neurotransmitters in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss).

"levels of NA were increased in hypothalamus and telencephalon after acute treatment and in hypothalamus and preoptic area after several days of exposure to naphthalene. These data suggest that brain neurotransmitter systems are sensitive to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and could represent a target of the naphthalene-induced neuroendocrine disruption."
