Cardiac outflow tract malformations in chick embryos exposed to homocysteine
17 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Increased homocysteine concentrations have been associated with cardiac outflow tract defects. It has been hypothesized that cardiac neural crest cells were the target cells in these malformations. Cardiac neural crest cells migrate from the neural tube and contribute to the condensed mesenchyme of the aorticopulmonary septum and outflow tract cushions of the heart. The aim of this study is to...
