Abstract
The effect of maternally administered methadone hydrochloride (5 mg/kg) on brain development of off-spring treated during gestation and/or lactation was studied in 21-day-old rats. Animals treated during gestation or lactation were the most severely affected, with reductions in brain weights (12% and 30%,respectively), and DNA values (50% and 34%, respectively) observed.
