Cardiac teratogenicity of trichloroethylene metabolites.
OBJECTIVES The hypothesis of this study was that metabolites of trichloroethylene (TCE), dichloroethylene (DCE) and related compounds were responsible for fetal cardiac teratogenic effects seen when TCE or DCE is consumed by pregnant rats during organogenesis. Identification of teratogenic metabolites would allow more accurate assessment of environmental contaminants and public health risks fro...
متن کاملA review: trichloroethylene metabolites: potential cardiac teratogens.
This review is a a series of the authors' studies designed to test the hypothesis that administration of trichloroethylene (TCE), dichloroethylene (DCE), their metabolites, and related compounds are responsible for fetal cardiac teratogenesis when given to pregnant rats during organogenesis. Identification of teratogenic compounds will allow more accurate assessment of environmental contaminant...
متن کاملDouble aortic arch and complex cardiac malformations.
Vascular ring caused by double aortic arch most commonly occurs as an isolated anomaly (Keith, Rowe, and Vlad, I967). However, its association with pulmonary stenosis (Bahnson and Blalock, I950), tetralogy of Fallot (Griswold and Young, I949; Stewart, Kincaid, and Edwards, I964), truncus arteriosus (Kerwin, I936), ventricular septal defect and left superior vena cava (Lincoln et al., I969), and...
متن کاملFrequency of Congenital Cardiac Malformations in the Neonates with Congenital Hypothyroidism
Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a prevalent disorder, which is associated with several other congenital anomalies, especially cardiac diseases. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of congenital heart disease (CHD) in the neonates with CH.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on two groups of 79 subjects to compare the type and frequency of congenital ca...
متن کاملTrichloroethylene Exposure during Cardiac Valvuloseptal Morphogenesis Alters Cushion Formation and Cardiac Hemodynamics in the Avian Embryo
It is controversial whether trichloroethylene (TCE) is a cardiac teratogen. We exposed chick embryos to 0, 0.4, 8, or 400 ppb TCE/egg during the period of cardiac valvuloseptal morphogenesis (2-3.3 days' incubation) . Embryo survival, valvuloseptal cellularity, and cardiac hemodynamics were evaluated at times thereafter. TCE at 8 and 400 ppb/egg reduced embryo survival to day 6.25 incubation by...
