Abstract excerpt

Effects of the Ay gene, a coat color gene, on susceptibility to hydrocortisone fetotoxicity and teratogenicity were investigated by using the congenic strain of C57BL/6-Ay (Ay/a) which had been maintained by repeated back-crosses of the Ay gene to the C57BL/6 (a/a) background. Matings were conduc...
