EFFECTS OF LOW-DOSE EXPOSURE OF RAT FETUSES PANCREAS TO METHYLMERCURY.: MORPHOMETRIC AND STEREOLOGIC STUDIES

Methylmercury chloride (20 mg/kg body weight), when administered orally to Wistar rats on day 10 of pregnancy, originated smaller fetuses and placentas. Death and resorptions were present and no gross malformations were seen. Histologically, the larger pancreatic acini of treated fetus showed irregu...
