in this investigation the effects of excess vitamin a administration during the early embryonic period were studied. intramuscular injection of a single dose of 15000,20000 or 25000 iu/kg vitamin a to pregnant balb/c strain mice on either day 7,8,9 or 10 of gestation (vaginal plug= day 0 of gestation) produced major malformations in the central nervous system (cns) including exencephaly, hydroc...

Prenatal nicotine exposure over an entire pregnancy has been associated with an increased prevalence of hyperactivity, anxiety-like behavior and depression-like behavior in mature rats.

T HREE experiments were conducted with eight gestating Angus cows to study the effects of feeding different magnesium levels at 145,200 and 255 days gestation. Each trial consisted of a S-day adjustment period and a 10-day experimental period. The average daily magnesium intake for the cows fed the basal ration was 3.4 grams. Supplemental magnesium was added at levels of 0, 4.1, 8.2 and 16.4 g ...
