Drug disposition in the fetus

  • Chapter

Abstract

The fetotoxic and teratogenic properties of several drugs and other substances have been extensively studied in small experimental animals. The mechanisms behind the effects caused by these agents are not always known. Distribution studies, e.g. using whole body autoradiography, is one route which together with many others may finally lead to a better understanding of the influence of chemicals on fetal development.
