Teratogenic effects of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) on larvae of the self-fertilizing fish Rivulus marmoratus (Cyprinodontiformes, Rivulidae)

Teratog Carcinog Mutagen. 2002;22(5):363-7. doi: 10.1002/tcm.10031.

Abstract

We showed that N-Ethyl-N-Nitrosourea (ENU) induces teratogenesis in larvae of the self-fertilizing fish Rivulus marmoratus. We discuss this and the issue of carcinogenesis caused by ENU.
