Teratogenicity of adenine in the rat embryo.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It was reported that adenine causes fetal malformations with high frequency when 250 or 300 mkikg of the compound was injected I. p. (.intraperitoneally) to pregnant mice during major organogenesis (Fujii and Nishimura, 1970 Fujii, 1970). Chaube and Murphy (1969) administered the compound i. R. to female rats on day 12 of gestation at various dosages less than 250 mg/kg, but did not find .any embryotoxic effect. In the present experiment, we injected -adenine at higher dosages to rats on various days of gestation to 'examine its potential teratogenicity and the spectrum of malformations.

Evaluation of Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD) Teratogenicity on the Rat Embryo Neural Crest Culture
Enamel matrix derivative Emdogain (EMD) is widely used in periodontal treatment in spite of the fact that its effect on the developing embryo has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the teratogenic effect of EMD on the rat embryo neural crest cells. The neural crest is a unique population of cells that migrates from the dorsal neural tube along defined pathways and pro...

متن کاملDevelopment of a new screening assay to identify proteratogenic substances using zebrafish danio rerio embryo combined with an exogenous mammalian metabolic activation system (mDarT).
The assessment of teratogenic effects of chemicals is generally performed using in vivo teratogenicity assays, for example, in rats or rabbits. We have developed an in vitro teratogenicity assay using the zebrafish Danio rerio embryo combined with an exogenous mammalian metabolic activation system (MAS), able to biotransform proteratogenic compounds. Cyclophosphamide (CPA) and ethanol were used...

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) was widely used in the past, as the morning after contraception, but its application became extremely limited due to several complications including delayed clear cell adenocarcinoma in female infants. However, the use of DES increased during the past decade for hormone replacement therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate possible teratogenicity of this...

Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a drug commonly used to treat neoplastic disease and some autoimmune diseases. It is also a well-known and well-studied teratogen causing a variety of birth defects in fetuses of pregnant women treated with the drug. There are many reports that show the adverse effects of CP can be decreased by use of antioxidant drugs. It appears that, quercetin has antioxidant effect....
