Article Synopsis
- This study examined whether nucleotide supplementation could reduce ethanol-related developmental damage in mouse embryos using whole embryo culture and midbrain cell micromass culture models.
- Ethanol exposure led to various malformations in embryos, but nucleotide supplementation improved growth metrics, with the best results seen at a dosage of 4.00 mg/L.
- The research suggests that nucleotides could help prevent ethanol-induced birth defects, but highlights the need for careful dosage considerations.
