Abstract
The purpose of this project was to examine the effects
of the most prevalent phthalate ester, DEHP, on lipid synthesis
in the fetal rat. It was to be an extension of the
lipid synthesis work previously described, as wel1
as a continuation of studies on toxicity effects of DEHP
in the fetal rat. Since DEHP or its metabolites
cross the placental barrier, it seem.ed likely that DEHP
would exert certain direct effects on the fetuses, such as
the inhibition of lipid synthesis noted in adult rats.
