title: Palate morphology and fetal movements in mice after DPH.
abstract: Effects of DPH on fetal development were studied using a dose which produced 65% cleft palate in the CD-1 strain. Generalized developmental retardation and diminution of fetal muscular movements occurred at the early fetal stage. Intermediate stages of palate closure persisted to term, indicating interference with palatine shelf rotation.
