| Effect of valproic acid and nonteratogenic metabolite. In the current study, we used sublethal, nonteratogenic levels of OP and UV-B to determine whether an interaction existed between these two stressors with respect to mRNA expression in the brain and effects on metamorphosis, specifically growth rate and hind-limb emergence (HLE). Nonteratogenic effects: Rofecoxib produced peri-implantation and post-implantation losses and reduced embryo/fetal survival in rats and rabbits at oral doses equal to or greater than 10 and equal to or greater than 75 mg/kg/day, respectively (approximately 9- and 3-fold (rats) and 2- and less than 1-fold (rabbits) human exposure based on the AUC0-24 at 25 and 50 mg daily). |
