Unraveling the Mystery of Intestinal Malrotation: Insights from Frog Embryo Study
Researchers have identified a potential cause for intestinal malrotation, a birth anomaly where the gut doesn't rotate properly during development, as exposure to the herbicide atrazine. Studies on frog embryos suggest that atrazine disrupts gut rotation development by causing metabolic imbalances, preventing normal cell division and growth. While the findings shed light on possible causes of intestinal malrotation, further research is needed to understand its implications for human health.
