Experimental results showing the effects of thioridazine on the development of Xenopus laevis embryos. Compared to normal embryos in (A), treated embryos exhibit significant levels of abnormalities that include hypopigmentation, kinked bodies, edemas, abnormal face shapes, malformed guts, and cleft cement glands (B). The percent of embryos that had each defect is shown in (C). Treated embryos had higher incidents of hypopigmentation (7.17%), edemas (12.67%), abnormal face shapes (13.5%), and cleft cement glands (4.5%) than their control counterparts, summarized in (C). Each point represents one separate trial of 100 embryos each and is graphed as a mean with SEM and **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05.
