Abstract

Culturing of postimplantation embryos of C57B1/6 and DBA mice differing in the ability to biotransform 3,4-benz(a)pyrene, reciprocal crossing of these animals, and transfer of preimplantation embryos into sham-pregnant females is used to model different genetic states by the Ah locus in the mother-fetus system. The role of metabolic factors at the early stages of embryogenesis in the realization of embryo- and genotoxic effects of 3,4-benz(a)pyrene is evaluated.
