At the high dose, definitive evidence of developmental toxicity was limited to a statistically significant ( 8%) reduction in average fetal body weight per litter.
These effects may cause developmental and reproductive toxicity:
Microcystins do not appear to show developmental toxicity.
When the human fetus experiences negative effects while in the prenatal environment, it is said to have experienced a "developmental toxicity".
A newer term developmental toxicity includes all manifestations of abnormal development, not only frank terata.
There is no evidence of any reproductive or developmental toxicity and it is not immunotoxic.
The developmental toxicity of bisphenol A has been adequately investigated.
The authors reported that there were no overt signs of developmental toxicity in either rats or mice.
Therefore, the miners remain unaffected while the animals suffer from developmental and reproductive toxicity.
There was no definitive evidence of developmental toxicity in this study.
