Embryonic death in mouse due to lead exposure.
Female mice which displayed a vaginal plug after mating were given a diet containing 0, 0.125, 0.250, 0.500% of lead as lead acetate and were dissected 16 to 18 days later. Lead treatment was found to reduce significantly the incidence of pregnancies and to increase the postimplantation loss in the pregnant females.
