Perturbation of retinoic acid (RA)‐mediated limb development suggests a role for diminished RA signaling in the teratogenesis of ethanol
3 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A proposed mechanism for ethanol teratogenicity entails ethanol-mediated reductions in retinoic acid (RA). This premise was investigated utilizing a mouse model, with limb reduction defects as the teratogenic end point. METHODS: Ethanol, Disulfiram, or BMS-189453 was administered to C57BL/6J mice on the 9(th) day of pregnancy. Forelimb morphology was assessed on gestation day 18 using Alcian blue and...
