ABSTRACT
Treatment of pregnant rats with ursodeoxycholic acid or chenodeoxycholic acid at 3 dose levels resulted in no dismorphogenic effects although embryotoxicity and fatty infiltration in maternal liver were more frequent after CDCA. Light microscopic examination showed no evidence of derangement in fetal liver. Electron microscopic study, carried out in maternal liver, showed that changes were present only in dams treated with the highest doses of both bile acids.
