Abstract
Treatment of female mice with high doses of lead from different times of the gestation, induces abortion or retardation of growth of the embryos. When it is given from birth, it provokes important mortality in the young and a retardation of the postnatal growth. In most cases, lead administered from the first day of gestation slightly delays the development of the embryo and inhibits its implantation. It seems that a deficiency in the plasmatic progesterone levels is directly implied in this inhibition.
