Topical problems and basic developmental trends of investigations concerning the embryotoxic and teratogenic effect of environmental chemicals.
The development of effective methods for prevention of embryo disorders and congenital defects appears to be one of the cardinal tasks of modern medicine. The development of man and the health of future generations depends upon a successful solution to this complex problem. The etiology of congenital defects in humans is multifactored since they occur as a result of the injurious effect of envi...
متن کاملTeratogenic Effects of Sulfur Mustard on Mice Fetuses
Sulfur Mustard (SM) has been used as a chemical warfare agent, in the World War I and more recently during Iraq-Iran war in early 1980s’. Its biological poisoning effect could be local or systemic and its effect depends on environmental conditions, exposed organs, and the extent and duration of exposure. It is considered as a strong alkylating agent with known mutagenic, carcinogenic effects; a...
متن کاملMethods for detecting teratogenic agents in man.
At a multidiscipline international meeting sponsored by L'Institut de la Vie held at Guadeloupe in January 1974, current methods for detecting teratogenic agents were outlined and discussed. Recommendations of the participants of the conference were: recognize the limitations of the present defenses against teratogenic agents; educate the public and medical profession about the known human tera...
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...
متن کاملStructure-activity relations of teratogenic natural products
Mammalian ingestion of jervane, solanidane, and spirosolane steroidal alkaloids produces craniofacial congenital malformations in offspring upon administration during the primitive s t rdneura l plate developmental phase. Structure-terata studies have shown that hamster teratogenicity induced by steroidal alkaloids is primarily related to the presence of C-5, C-6 unsaturation and secondarily to...
متن کاملMaternal depression and perception of teratogenicity.
Exposure to various medications and medical conditions during pregnancy is often inevitable. Most of these exposures do not carry an elevated risk of congenital malformations. Nevertheless, misperceptions of the risks associated with different exposures in pregnancy are common and may potentially lead to wrong decisions. Unrealistically high maternal teratogenic risk perception may lead to abru...
