Mechanisms for persistent microphthalmia following ethanol exposure during retinal neurogenesis in zebrafish embryos
1 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
The exposure of the developing human embryo to ethanol results in a spectrum of disorders involving multiple organ systems, including the visual system. One common phenotype seen in humans exposed to ethanol in utero is microphthalmia. The objective of this study was to describe the effects of ethanol during retinal neurogenesis in a model organism, the zebrafish, and to pursue the potential mechanisms by which...
