Abstract
ConclusionsHeptaldehyde is capable of inducing resorption of mouse embryos when it is administered orally from the first to the fifth day after insemination, but it is most effective on the first and second days after insemination. Dissolved in the ethyl esters of lard, it can cause destruction of fertility as late as the thirteenth day after insemination. The oral feeding of heptaldehyde had no appreciable effect on the growth of the Marsh Carcinoma, but these experiments indicate that further work is necessary to determine the best conditions whereby heptaldehyde (or other aldehydes) can have greater access to tumors before its therapeutic value can be established.
