The growth-inhibiting effect of sodium pentobarbital on the body weight of the chick embryo.
A single dosage of sodium pentobarbital (5.0 mg/0.1 ml) given during the embryonic period inhibited the body weight of the chick embryo from 10 through 18 days of incubation. The mean wet and dry weight of the barbiturate-treated embryos were lowered significantly. This weight-decreasing effect was not observed in the hearts or livers of the barbiturate-treated specimens.
