Vinylsulfone Ameliorates High Glucose-Induced Neural Tube Defects.
Group | Total Embryos | Embryos With NTDs | NTD Rate, % |
---|---|---|---|
NG | 15 | 1 | 6.67 |
NG + VS (20 μmol/L) | 15 | 2 | 13.33 |
HGa | 15 | 10 | 66.67 |
HG + VS (10 μmol/L) | 15 | 5 | 33.33 |
HG + VS (20 μmol/L) | 15 | 3 | 20.00 |
Abbreviations: VS, vinylsulfone; HG, high glucose (16.7 mmol/L); NG, normal glucose (5 mmol/L); NTDs, neural tube defects.
aHG group is statistically significant from the NG, NG + VS (20 μmol/L), HG + VS (10 μmol/L), and HG + VS (20 μmol/L) groups. Statistical significance was analyzed by χ2 test.
