Skeletal malformation of fetuses from pregnant Sprague Dawley rats fed Jatropha curcas crude oil (JCO)
Studies on the teratogenicity effects of Jatropha curcas has been reported in pregnant rats. This study was conducted to observe whether feeding Jatropha curcas seeds crude oil (JCO)to pregnant rats during early and late gestation will cause fetal skeletal malformations....
