Prenatal fumonisin (FB1) treatment in rats results in minimal maternal or offspring toxicity.

To investigate the neurobehavioral and developmental effects of the mycotoxin, FB1, Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with FB1 on gestational days 13-20. In Experiment 1, FB1 was obtained from culture material and pregnant rats were gavaged with 0, 0.8 or 1.
