| Abstract | ||
| Embryotoxicity and teratogenicity of four tested compounds which use as fungicides benomyl carbendazim. Dimethoate as one of the organ phosphorus compounds and cypermethrin as synthetic pyrethroids were carried out on fertile hen eggs of the Alexandria chicken strain injected into the yolk-sac on the 6th day to select the suitable vehicle carrier for testing the compounds and record their effects on weight changes of eggs during incubation. The data showed that all the tested solvent and pesticides caused decrease in the average weight loss of eggs during incubation as compared with the control Isopropanol tested eggs showed very close values to the control. The results of these experiments were in favor of the use of isopropanol as a carrier for tested chemicals has proved that the chick embryo injection technique is successful of detecting the adverse effects embryo toxicity or teratogenicity in a dose dependent pattern. | ||
