Overview of Developmental Heart Defects by Dioxins, PCBs, and Pesticides

Abstract excerpt

The developing cardiovascular system is a sensitive target of many environmental pollutants, including dioxins, dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and some pesticides such as methyl parathion. Laboratory research has utilized a variety of vertebrate models to elucidate potential mechanisms that mediate this cardioteratogenicity and to establish the sensitivity of different species for predicting...
