title: [Effect of glycerol formal on the embryonic development of the rat].
abstract: In order to evaluate the effect on embryonic development of a solvent commonly used in pharmacological investigations, glycerol formal was administered to pregnant rats from days 6 through 15 of gestation at the daily doses of 0.25, 0.50 and 1.0 ml/Kg i.m. Glycerol formal did not induce systemic toxicity in the mothers, but showed an embryotoxic and teratogenic activity on the products of conception.
