Body Weight and Malformations in Relation to Pesticide Embryotoxicity

چکیده
Background: Bendiocarbamate is a carbamate insecticide, which belongs among the cholinesterase inhibitors. Cholinesterase inhibitors is a group of chemical compounds, which inhibits acetylcholine hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase, thereby acetylcholine accumulates in the reactive locations of a living organism. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate toxicity dose of bendiocarbamate to chicken embryo. Bendiocarbamate was administered (8-1600 μg/egg) to chicken embryos on day 2 of incubation. Results: The results obtained that toxicity of bendiocarbamate is rather low even if the weight of chicken embryos was low with higher concentration of bendiocarbamate. Only 4 % (144/4) chicken embryos with malformation was observed. Conclusion: We used the chick embryos of Leghorn breed (variant sprayed) and it is possible that another breed could be more sensitive to bendiocarbamate effect. The results obtained that toxicity of bendiocarbamate is rather low even if the weight of chicken embryos was low with higher concentration of bendiocarbamate. Only 4 % chicken embryos with malformation was observed. Keywords— Bendiocarbamate, chicken, embryo, malformations, toxicity 812 Eva Petrovova et al

Teratologic evaluation of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether in Fischer 344 rats and New Zealand white rabbits following inhalation exposure.
Timed-pregnant Fischer 344 rats and New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to ethylene glycol monobutyl ether vapors by inhalation on gestational days 6 through 15 (rats) or 6 through 18 (rabbits) at concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 100 or 200 ppm. The animals were sacrificed on gestational day 21 (rats) or 29 (rabbits). In rats, exposure to 200 or 100 ppm resulted in maternal toxicity (clinical si...
متن کاملTeratogenicity and embryotoxicity in aquatic organisms after pesticide exposure and the role of oxidative stress.
Many pesticides have been documented to induce embryotoxicity and teratogenicity in non-target aquatic biota such a fish, amphibians and invertebrates. Our review of the existing literature shows that a broad range of pesticides, representing several different chemical classes, induce variable toxic effects in aquatic species. The effects observed include diverse morphological malformations as ...

Gentamicin was evaluated for developmental toxicity in pregnant Sprague-Dawley rat. Gentamicin was administered subcutaneously on days 6-15 gestation at dose of 100 mg/kg. On gestation day 21, all live fetuses were examined for external and skeletal malformations and variations. Increased resorptions and dead fetuses, and reduced fetal body weight were observed at dose of 100 mg/kg. Gentamicin ...

Groups of up to 13 pregnant rats were individually caged. Body weight, food and water consumption were recorded at days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of gestation and the dams were treated on days 8-15 with sodium chlorite, 0.1%, 0.5% or 2% in drinking water or by injection of 10, 20, or 50 mg/kg IP or by gavaging with 200 mg/kg. To prevent ingestion of stillborn pups some dams were sacrificed at day 22. Oth...
