Abstract excerpt
Excess oxygen radical formation is suggested to be involved in the etiology of diabetic embryopathy. We aimed to investigate the effects of altered maternal antioxidative status in conjunction with a varied severity of the maternal diabetic state on embryonic development by using mice with different gene expression of CuZn superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD). The mice were wild-type (WT), transgenic (TG), or knockout...
