Reproduction

downin worms1

1 study

  1. Boron carbide nanoparticles decrease reproduction in worms.

    “Development and reproduction showed slight reductions between 40 and 320 mg/L”

    Model organisms40-320 mg/L

  1. Boron carbide nanoparticles impair locomotion in worms.

    “locomotion was markedly impaired at the doses from 80 to 320 mg/L.”

    Model organisms80-320 mg/L
