Results and discussion

Results: P0 (first parental generation)

Details on results (P0)

Microscopic study of the placenta showed blood filling of the vessels, dystrophic and necrobiotic changes in the epithelial cells of the chorion, infiltration of the lymphocytes and hystiocytes, etc. In general pregnant rats were more sensitive that the non pregnant ones. General toxicity signs from 1,4-dichlorobut-2-ene included charges in the central nervous system, a decrease in the oxygen uptake, and increase in the number of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and amount of haemoglobin in the peripheral blood.

Results: F1 generation

Details on results (F1)

At 9.2 mg/m³, the embryotoxic effects of 1,4-dichlorobut-2-ene were mild. Thus, the embryotoxic effects of 1,4-dichloro-2-ene were via placenta and uterus, although its direct action on the foetus is not ruled out.
