Abstract excerpt
To examine the possible phenotypic defects from barium exposure, a model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans, was chosen to analyze the multiple toxicities in barium-exposed animals. Endpoints of life span, body size, brood size, generation time, head thrash, and body bend were selected for the assessment of barium toxicity. High concentrations (75 microM and 200 microM) of barium exposure caused severe life-span...
