Exposure to alcohol during gestation can have profound consequences, but not all cells
within the embryo are affected equally. Recent advances in molecular embryology have …

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is characterized by growth retardation, craniofacial
malformations, and heart and neural defects; the cellular and molecular mechanism (s) …

Numerous mechanisms likely contribute to the damaging effects of prenatal alcohol
exposure on the developing fetus and particularly the developing central nervous system …

Background: Ethanol‐induced cell death has been characterized in very few stages of
embryogenesis. This investigation comprehensively maps patterns of both programmed and …

Alcohol is a known teratogen that causes a broad variety of developmental anomalies,
including fetal growth retardation, craniofacial anomalies, and neurological disorders. The …

RENATAL ETHANOL exposure leads to develop-P mental delays characterized by
decreased growth and differentiation and by visceral and craniofacial malformation. I4 Not …

The ability of both acute and chronic ethanol exposures to elicit cell death within specific
embryonic and adult tissues is believed to partly underlie ethanol's pathogenicity; however …

Maternal ingestion of alcohol during pregnancy can cause a disability syndrome termed
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), which may include craniofacial malformations …

Alcohol has always been present in human life, and currently it is estimated that 50% of
women of childbearing age consume alcohol. It has become increasingly clear over the last …

Prenatal exposure to alcohol has profound effects on many aspects of fetal development.
Although alterations of somatic growth and specific minor malformations of facial structure …
