Intrauterine exposure to ethanol causes embryonic and fetal maldevelopment. Oxidative
stress in mother and offspring has been suggested to be part of the teratogenic mechanism …

Prior studies in our laboratory have shown that exposure of cultured fetal rat hepatocytes to
ethanol (E) blocks epidermal growth factor‐dependent replication and that this is paralleled …

Background: The aim was to investigate the susceptibility of embryos from 2 rat strains (U
and H) to a 48 hours ethanol exposure in early pregnancy, both in vivo and in vitro. Methods …

Ethanol is the most common human teratogen, and heavy drinking during pregnancy can
result in serious adverse outcomes to the fetus. The cellular mechanisms by which ethanol …

The fetal alcohol syndrome is a clinical conndition that affects newborns from alcoholic
mothers. It is not clear, however, whether ethanol consumption during gestation can affect …

To investigate the possibility of a free radical mechanism for ethanol‐induced teratogenesis,
gestational day 8 mouse embryos were exposed for 6 hr in whole embryo culture to a …

Background: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a challenging public health problem.
Previous studies have found an association between FASD and oxidative stress. In the …

It is now known that excess alcohol consumption during pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol
syndrome to develop. However, it is not known whether excess ethanol exposure could …

Alcohol drinking during pregnancy results in abnormal fetal development, including fetal
alcohol syndrome (FAS) in humans and experimental animals. FAS is characterized by two …
