The objective was to observe the effect of insulin on chick embryos with reference to their growth and developmental defects.
An experimental study was performed to assess any abnormal growth pattern caused by insulin. For this, two batches of 100 fertilized eggs were utilized. One batch of 50 was used as a control group and other as an experimental group. Insulin (2 IU) was injected on day 2 of incubation. Chicken eggs were dissected out on day 19 of incubation and were carefully observed for any congenital abnormalities. The embryos thus dissected out were subjected to measurement of crown-rump length (CRL), changes in weight of egg, volume of embryos were compared in two groups. The embryos were also examined for any congenital anomalies.
No major malformations were observed. Decrease in weight and CRLs was lower in the experimental group as compared to their control counterparts. Values for volume of the embryo were similar in two groups.
No obvious teratogenic effects are observed with insulin in the dose use for the study.
观察胰岛素对鸡胚生长及发育缺陷的影响。
进行一项实验研究以评估胰岛素引起的任何异常生长模式。为此,使用了两批各100枚受精鸡蛋。一批50枚用作对照组,另一批用作实验组。在孵化第2天注射胰岛素(2国际单位)。在孵化第19天取出鸡蛋并仔细观察有无先天性异常。将如此取出的胚胎进行顶臀长度(CRL)测量,比较两组鸡蛋重量变化、胚胎体积。还对胚胎进行先天性异常检查。
未观察到重大畸形。与对照组相比,实验组的重量和CRL下降幅度较小。两组胚胎体积值相似。
在本研究使用的剂量下,未观察到胰岛素有明显的致畸作用。
