Date <strong>19</strong>.02.2003<br />

implantation sites, resorption sites, and live and dead fetuses were<br />

recorded. Body weight of live fetuses were recorded. The urogenital tract of<br />

each dam was examined in detail for anatomical normality. All fetuses were<br />

examined grossly for the presence of external congenital abnormalities. 1/3<br />

of fetuses of each litter underwent detailed visceral examinations employing<br />

the Wilson technique. The remaining 2/3 were examined for skeletal<br />

defects.<br />

- Control group and treatment: Including positive control of 150 mg/kg<br />

aspirin (active ingredient: acetylsalicylic acid)<br />

- Doses: 1.79, 8.31, 38.6 and 179 mg/kg<br />

MATING PROCEDURES: 10-15 Females were inseminated artificially.<br />

EXAMINATIONS: Body weights were recorded on days 0, 6, 12, 18 and 29<br />

of gestation, observed daily for appearance and behaviour. On day 29 all<br />

dams were subjected to caesarean section under anesthesia, numbers of<br />

implantation sites, resorption sites, and live and dead fetuses were<br />

recorded. Body weight of live fetuses were recorded. The urogenital tract of<br />
