Data are presented as numberof fetuses (number of litters). See Table 7.7 for summary and statistical analysis of fetal malformation/variationincidence.bOnly live fetuses were examined.cIncludes only litters with live fetuses.dFor many studies, a single fetus was examined externally, viscerally, and skeletally.eOne fetus was lost during processing prior to skeletal examination.Source: Marr, M.C., Myers, C.B., Price, C.J., Tyl, R.W., and Jahnke, G.D., Teratology, 59, 413, 1999 (tablesprovided by the authors).E. Necropsy and Postmortem Examination1. MaternalMated females that die during the course of the study should be necropsied in an attempt todetermine the cause of death, with target tissues saved for possible histopathology. Females thatappear moribund should be humanely euthanized (by CO 2 asphyxiation for rodents and i.v. euthanasiasolution for rabbits) and necropsied to attempt to determine the cause of the morbidity, withtarget tissues saved for optional histopathology. Females showing signs of abortion or prematuredelivery should also be sacrificed, as described above, as soon as the event is detected. They shouldbe subjected to a gross necropsy, and any products of conception should be saved in neutral buffered© 2006 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC
