Thalidomide-like malformations caused by Tween surfactant in mice.
The nonionic surfactant Tween 20 [polyoxyethylene(20)sorbitan monolaurate] is one of the more frequently encountered xenobiotics. Surface-active agents of the Tween type are used as constituents of cleaning agents, as food additives and as vehicles in the drug and cosmetic industry [1], Because of its good solubilizing properties Tween 20 has been used in teratological experiments as a solubili...
متن کاملSkeletal Malformations Caused by Overexpression of Cbfa1 or Its Dominant Negative Form in Chondrocytes
During skeletogenesis, cartilage develops to either permanent cartilage that persists through life or transient cartilage that is eventually replaced by bone. However, the mechanism by which cartilage phenotype is specified remains unclarified. Core binding factor alpha1 (Cbfa1) is an essential transcription factor for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation and has the ability to stimula...
متن کاملInduction of dominant mutations that cause skeletal malformations in mice
A new approach for estimating genetic risk to humans from radiation is based upon an analysis of the frequency of induction of dominant mutations that cause skeletal abnormalities in mice. The main goal of this work is to improve estimates of the effect that an increase in the mutation frequency would have upon the incidence of serious genetic diseases in humans. The data obtained relate to dom...
متن کاملHydrocephalus due to multiple ependymal malformations is caused by mutations in the MPDZ gene
Congenital hydrocephalus is considered as either acquired due to haemorrhage, infection or neoplasia or as of developmental nature and is divided into two subgroups, communicating and obstructive. Congenital hydrocephalus is either syndromic or non-syndromic, and in the latter no cause is found in more than half of the patients. In patients with isolated hydrocephalus, L1CAM mutations represent...
متن کاملhe effects of vitamin B12 on the brain damages caused by methamphetamine in mice
Objective(s): Methamphetamine (METH) is a powerful stimulant drug that directly affects the brain and induces neurological deficits. B12 is a water-soluble vitamin (vit) that is reported to attenuate neuronal degeneration. The goal of the present study is to investigate the effect of vitamin B12 on METH’s neurodegenerative changes.Materials and Methods: Two groups of 6 animals received METH (10...
