Description:
|
This project utilizes a mouse model of maternal, paternal, and dual parental alcohol exposure in order to assess long term consequences of parental alcohol consumption on offspring health and disease. Adult 20-week-old offspring will be dissected and their organs collected and weighed in order to assess changes in overall organ system function due to alcohol induced developmental toxicity. |
