Abstract excerpt
The developmental role of prostaglandin H synthase-2 (PHS-2), which converts xenobiotics such as benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) to toxic free radical intermediates, is poorly understood. In this study, we determined the embryonic expression and teratological relevance of PHS-2 in pregnant CD-1 and B6/129S7 PHS-2 knockout mice. Wild-type (+/+) B6/129S7 dams given B[a]P on gestational day (GD) 10 had three times more fetal...
