Is reserpine a human teratogen?
A single stillborn female with craniofacial, abdominal, and central nervous system malformations was exposed to reserpine during the first six weeks of gestation. Parallels between the malformations present in this infant and those induced in rats through exposure to reserpine at analogous periods of gestation suggest that reserpine may pose specific risks for malformations in some pregnancies.
متن کاملEthanol itself is a holoprosencephaly-inducing teratogen
Ethanol is a teratogen, inducing a variety of structural defects in developing humans and animals that are exposed in utero. Mechanisms of ethanol teratogenicity in specific defects are not well understood. Oxidative metabolism of ethanol by alcohol dehydrogenase or cytochrome P450 2E1 has been implicated in some of ethanol's teratogenic effects, either via production of acetaldehyde or competi...

Iodine deficiency interferes severely with prenatal and postnatal growth and neurologic development of individuals. It has condemned tens of millions of children to cretinism—characterized by mental and growth retardation, rigid spastic motor disorde...
متن کاملMetronidazole Appears Not to Be a Human Teratogen: Review of Literature
Metronidazole is used to treat trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and other diseases. As is the case with many drugs, physicians often hesitate to use it during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester. A review of the nearly four decades' worth of published literature on metronidazole use in pregnant women indicates that it is not teratogenic, regardless of the trimester in which it is...
متن کاملIs diabetes mellitus a teratogen or a coteratogen?
The risk of major and minor congenital malformations was compared in the offspring of diabetic (n = 2,639) and nondiabetic (n = 2,144) women who delivered at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, between January 1, 1946 and December 31, 1970. In spite of ample power, there was little evidence of an increased malformation risk in offspring born prior to the onset of overt diabetes i...
