title: Post natal side effects in rats induced by hypolipidaemic treatment during pregnancy.
abstract: Maternal, foetal and peri- and post-natal toxicity studies of a hypolipidaemic agent, 2-[p-(2,2-dichlorocyclopropyl)phenoxy]-2-methyl propionic acid (WIN 35833), were performed on different animal species during animal evaluation of this new drug. In teratology studies in rats, mice and rabbits, no adverse effects were detected following drug exposure during the organogenesis period. In peri-natal studies, a neonatal abnormality related to treatment just before term was shown in rats. This modification, previously observed with other hypolipidaemic drugs, seems to be species specific and characteristic of compounds in the aryloxyalkanoic acid series.
