nervous system
• at E12.5 at the forelimb level, stunting of the fine branches of dorsally projecting neurons of the radial and ulnar nerves is seen; however ventral projections appear unaffected
|
• about a 10% and 20% reduction in total motor neuron numbers and lateral motor column lateral motor neurons, respectively, are seen at E12.5 at the forelimb level, but no increase in cell death is detected
• at the hindlimb level at E12.5 a 14% decrease in lateral motor column lateral motor neurons is seen
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• 50% reduction in retinoic acid levels in tissue homogenates from the forelimb region
|
limbs/digits/tail
N |
• digit morphology and flexure of the distal limbs are similar to controls in adults
