Initially,
when we used higher amounts of lead (50ug and 100ug), all of
the chick embryos died (Table
1). This contrasted with Anwer
et al. experiment that had a 78% survival rate of embryos
exposed to 50ug of lead (Anwer, et al., 1988). However, we
injected the chick embryos with lead acetate at a much
earlier age, 2-day old than Anwer et al. 7-day old. We
concluded that an injection of 50ug or higher of lead at an
early embryonic age is lethal. We adjusted our experiment by
injecting lower amounts of lead (12.5ug, 25ug) into the
chick embryos.
