Abstract
Fareed, S. A., H. E.-S. Mostafa, Y. M. Saleh, Y. I. Magdi, and I. M. M. Ammar. 2025. “How Does Maternal Lipopolysaccharide Exposure Impact Prenatal Testicular Development in Rats, and Could α-Tocopherol Provide a Protective Effect? A Histological, Immunohistochemical and Biochemical Study.” Birth Defects Research 117: e2469. https://doi.org/10.1002/bdr2.2469.
In the originally published article, the following sentence in the Abstract is incorrect:
“Forty pregnant female rats were divided into four groups. Group I (control) included a negative control receiving normal saline and a positive control receiving 30 mg/kg of α-tocopherol intraperitoneally from the 3rd to 18th gestational day.”
The correct sentence is:
“Forty pregnant female rats were divided into three groups. Group I (control) was divided into two subgroups: Group Ia (negative control; receiving normal saline) and Group Ib (positive control; receiving 30 mg/kg of α-tocopherol intraperitoneally from the 3rd to 18th gestational day).”
In the Animals and Experimental Procedures section of the Materials and Methods section the following sentences are incorrect. They are presented below with the correct sentences.
Incorrect: “The pregnant rats were divided into four groups (10 pregnant rats for each) as follows…”
Correct: “The pregnant rats were divided into three groups as follows…”
Incorrect: “Group I (Control groups): Divided into two subgroups as follows (n = 5)…”
Correct: “Group I (Control groups): Divided into two subgroups as follows (n = 10 for each subgroup):”
“Group II (LPS group)” was omitted from the following sentence: “Group II (LPS group, n = 10 rats)…”
“Group III (α-T + LPS, protected group)” was omitted from the following sentence: “Group III (α-T + LPS, protected group, n = 10 rats)…”
期刊介绍:
The journal Birth Defects Research publishes original research and reviews in areas related to the etiology of adverse developmental and reproductive outcome. In particular the journal is devoted to the publication of original scientific research that contributes to the understanding of the biology of embryonic development and the prenatal causative factors and mechanisms leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes, namely structural and functional birth defects, pregnancy loss, postnatal functional defects in the human population, and to the identification of prenatal factors and biological mechanisms that reduce these risks.
Adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes may have genetic, environmental, nutritional or epigenetic causes. Accordingly, the journal Birth Defects Research takes an integrated, multidisciplinary approach in its organization and publication strategy. The journal Birth Defects Research contains separate sections for clinical and molecular teratology, developmental and reproductive toxicology, and reviews in developmental biology to acknowledge and accommodate the integrative nature of research in this field. Each section has a dedicated editor who is a leader in his/her field and who has full editorial authority in his/her area.
