Antagonistic effects of phenytoin-initiated lipid peroxidation and dysmorphogenesis by melatonin in a murine embryo culture model

Post-gestational d 8.5 mouse embryos were cultured for 48 h at37.5℃ in medium containing phenytoin (30 mg.L-1) alone or in combination with melatonin(0.1－1 mmol.L-1). The growth and development of embryo and its protein and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance content were determined. Embryos exposed to phenytoin demonstrated substantial dysmorphogenesis, as evidenced by decreases in anterior neuropore closure, turning, cardiac beating, yolk sac circulation, yolk sac diameter, crown-rump length, head length and somite development, and a 4-fold increase over controls in lipid peroxidation. Melatonin virtually eliminated phenytoin-initiated lipid peroxidation and reduced or completely eliminated all phenytoin-initiated dysmorphological anomalies. These results suggest that lipid peroxidation constitute important molecular damage to embryo, and they provide the first direct evidence that antioxidant melatonin has the embryo protective potential to phenytoin-initiated dysmorphogenesis in embryo.
