Abstract excerpt
Arsenic is an environmental contaminant that induces congenital malformations, primarily neural tube defects, in laboratory animals, and it may contribute to human birth defects. The acute doses of arsenicals required to elicit teratogenesis in outbred strains of mice, however, are orders of magnitude higher than those to which humans are exposed environmentally. In order to examine interactions between arsenite...
