Abstract excerpt

In this study, we examined the effects of ethanol administered to chick embryos, on the maturation of astrocytes, using glutamine synthetase (GS) activity as an astrocyte marker. Ethanol (50 mM) was administered in ovo via the air sac, embryos were sacrificed at various days of embryonic development and GS activity was determined in cerebral hemispheres and cerebellum. We found that in both cerebral hemispheres...
