Teratogenic Effect of Ethylene Glycol-Methyl Cellosolve Mixture in Rats: II. Craniofacial and Limb Abnormalities

We investigated the teratogenic effect of an ethylene glycol-methyl cellosolve mixture on gestating Wistar rats, that received a daily intraperitoneal dose of different concentration of the mixture on day 8 of gestation until day 20. Multivariate analysis and Post-Hoc Bonferroni tests were used and...
