Effect of Sodium Cyclamate on the Rat Fetal Liver: A Karyometric and Stereological Study
The cyclamate, a sweetner substance derived from N-cyclo-hexyl-sulfamic acid, is largely utilized as a non-caloric artificial edulcorant in foods and beverages as well as in the pharmaceutical industry. The objective of this study was to evaluate fetal hepatic karyometric and stereological alteratio...
