The teratogenicity of trans-2-ene-valproic acid (300 and 400 mg/kg) was compared with that of valproic acid (VPA; 300 mg/kg) and controls (corn oil) administered by gavage to Sprague-Dawley CD rats on embryonic (E) days 7-18. At the 300 mg/kg dose, trans-2-ene-VPA produced no change in maternal
It has been hypothesized that the developmental toxicity of certain compounds is, in part, due to maternal toxicity resulting in alterations in zinc (Zn) metabolism that affects the developing conceptus. In the present work the effects of developmentally toxic doses of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (EHXA),
The anticonvulsant valproic acid (VPA), or 2-propylpentanoic acid, is a short-chain aliphatic acid that is teratogenic in humans and rodents. VPA and 14 related chemicals were screened for developmental toxicity using the Chernoff/Kavlock assay. Test agents, in corn oil, were administered by gavage
Maternal or paternal high fat (HF) diet can modify the epigenome in germ cells and fetal somatic cells leading to an increased susceptibility among female offspring of multiple generations to develop breast cancer. We determined if combined treatment with broad spectrum DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)
