TERATOGENIC SIGNIFICANCE OF IONIC AND FLUID IMBALANCES.
Some agents teratogenic to the chick embryo cause serum electrolyte and fluid inmbalances which initiate an edema syndrome leading to malformations. Differences in ionic composition of serum and yolk of normal chicks help explain how these imbalances can be produced.
