Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This report describes the effects of two gram-negative bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) preparations on hamster pregnancy outcome variables. Single intravenous challenges with Escherichia coli and Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS on day 8 of pregnancy produced dose-dependent effects on fetal weight malformation and fetal resorption with E. coli LPS having potent embryolethal effects. Premating maternal exposure to P. gingivalis produced embryolethal effects similar to those of E. coli. These data suggest that maternal exposure to P. gingivalis LPS prior to and during pregnancy can induce deleterious effects on the developing fetus.
