The effects of chronic intake of alcohol on ethanol elimination were studied in 20-day
pregnant rats, in their foetuses, and in virgin rats. Experimental animals received ethanol in …

Intravenous infusion of 1 g ethanol/min over 1 hr to seven catheterised pregnant ewes
decreased blood flow on both sides of the placenta. The reductions in blood flow were …

Background: The consumption of significant amounts of alcohol (ethanol, EtOH) may

On day 20 of gestation, after ethanol feeding (27% ethanol calories, 25% protein), placental
weights, DNA, RNA and water content were greater than in controls pair-fed an isocaloric …

This study explored the use of ethanol inhalation as a model to study the effects of ethanol
and ethanol dependence on neonatal brain development in mice without maternal …

An earlier study showed that pregnant rats given ethanol in drinking water exhibited a
significant degree of dehydration. The objective of the present study was to determine …

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is characteristic of the fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS).
This IUGR is partly due to the toxic effect of ethanol upon placental function, including amino …

The mechanism by which developmental anomalies associated with the fetal alcohol
syndrome are produced is not understood. Current hypotheses include altered maternal …

The disposition of ethanol and acetaldehyde in maternal venous blood and amniotic fluid
was studied over 3.5 hours following the ingestion of 0.3 gm/kg of ethanol by six healthy …

The teratogenic potential of alcohol in humans has now been confirmed, and a characteristic
pattern of anomalies (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) is found in infants born to mothers who are …
