Effect of chronic prenatal exposure to the food additive titanium dioxide E171 on respiratory activity in newborn mice.

Nanoparticles (NPs) possess unique properties that make their use valuable in all industries. Titanium dioxide (TiO) NPs are extensively used as a white pigment in food (labeled under the European number E171) and personal care products, which creates a significant potential for chronic consumer exposure. Concerns about the potential toxic effects of TiO NPs have arisen, particularly in vulnerable populations, including pregnant women and infants.

Progressive vision loss and neurocognitive impairment are early and frequent presentations in CLN3 disease. This highlights neurodevelopmental functioning as critical to the disease, but limits the neuropsychological test repertoire. We evaluated the convergent validity of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales as a potential outcome measure.
