Histological examination of cardiac sections from fetal hearts with or without exposure to NaVP. Cardiac sections were examined from the fetal mice (gestation day 19) with or without prenatal exposure to NaVP (exposure group, the pregnant female mice received a one-time injection intraperitoneally of NaVP on gestation day 7 at a dose of 700 mg/kg body weight; control group, the pregnant female mice received a one-time injection of saline solution at the same time). (A) A representative cross section image of normal fetal hearts from the control groups. (B) A representative image of the fetal hearts from the NaVP treated group showing an interventricular septal interruption indicated by an arrow. RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricle; IVS, interventricular septum.
