Assessment of selenium protectivity against ethanol-induced alterations and dysmorphogenesis in postimplantation mouse embryos and some histological features of the placenta
This study aimed to assess the protective capabilities of maternal supplementation of selenium (Se) on ethanol-induced dysmorphogenesis in embryonic day (E.D.) 10.5 mouse embryos. Thirty six-weeks-old female mice were randomly assigned to five experimental groups, one served as the negative control...
