  • Aripiprazole (ARI) is a newer antipsychotic classified as FDA pregnancy category C, with mixed information about its safety for pregnant women.
  • In an experiment, 125 fertilized eggs were divided into groups and exposed to different doses of ARI; various analyses were conducted on the embryos after hatching to assess development and genetic changes.
  • Results showed significant negative effects on the embryos' neural tube formation, growth, and gene expression, indicating that ARI exposure may hinder early development and raise concerns about its potential teratogenic effects in pregnant women.

Purpose: Cataract, which occurs as a result of lens opacification, is one of the most common causes of vision loss. In the literature, deterioration of the antioxidant system due to the increase in reactive oxygen species and oxidant levels is shown among the causes of cataract formation. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effect of chrysin on steroid-induced cataract development in an experimental chick embryo model using morphological, histological and biochemical parameters.
