Figure 7. Macroscopic evaluation of pregnant rats treated with AG and sStx2.

Figure 7

Uteri and fetuses from pregnant rats injected with 1.5 ml sStx2 containing 2 ng Stx2/g body wt showed intrauterine hemorrhage and fetal death 48 h after sStx2 injection (C, D). The treatment with 100 µg AG/g body wt 24 h before and 4 h after sStx2 injection caused significant reduction of the toxin effects on the feto-maternal unit (E, F). Uteri and fetuses from control rats showed normal fetal growth (A, B).
