BACKGROUND: Folate supplementation decreases the incidence of birth defects such as neural tube defects (NTDs). We and others have shown that gestational dietary folate deficiency that does not produce overt NTDs can alter fetal neural histology. Accordingly, murine offspring were examined for the p

## Abstract There is increasing evidence that the oxygen supply to the human embryo in the first trimester is tightly controlled, suggesting that too much oxygen may interfere with development. The use of hypoxia probes in mammalian embryos during the organogenic period indicates that the embryo is
From Days 14 to 19, pregnant Wistar rats were treated with either of 2 mg testosterone propionate (TP) or vehicle. Thirty-, 60-, and 90-day-old offspring were tested individually during daily on 4 days with a stimulus litter, and pup-oriented and non-15 min pup-oriented behaviors were recorded. Sex
The purpose of the study was to determine whether an episode of anoxia in the neonatal period affects the hypoxic ventilatory response in developing rats. Three to 4 day old rats (EXP rats) (day 0 = day of birth) were exposed to 100% N 2 for about 20 min. In anoxia, animals changed their respiratory
