Figure 1
Morphological findings in embryos treated with nicotine or lycopene. (a) Normal control group. (b–d) Fetal malformations were observed in nicotine-treated embryos, such as open brain, reduced forebrain, abnormal rotation, and regressed forelimbs. (e–h) Coadministration of lycopene ( and ) results in embryo recovery, morphologically similar to the control group. Bar: 100 μm.
