An in ovo chicken model to study the systemic and localized teratogenic effects of valproic acid
25 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The antiepileptic valproic acid (VPA) is a teratogen whose embryopathic mechanism(s) remain uncertain. Elucidating potential cellular and molecular effects of VPA is complicated by systemic application paradigms. We developed an in ovo model to reproduce the teratogenic effects of VPA and a localized VPA application procedure to determine whether VPA can selectively effect abnormal development in one...
