“…The incidence of fetuses with malformations or variations was expressed as a proportion of the total number of fetuses with malformations or variations to the total number of fetuses examined. The terminology used for fetal external, visceral, and skeletal alterations was principally based on Horimoto et al (1998) and Makris et al (2009). should be determined separately because males are heavier than females.…”

“…Further observations for the presence of skeletal variations or malformations were recorded, referencing the Atlas of External and Skeletal Anomalies in Rats (Chahoud, 1997) and the established terminology by the International Federation of Teratology Societies (Makris et al, 2009).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
