Ethanol Triggers Neural Crest Apoptosis through the Selective Activation of a Pertussis Toxin–Sensitive G Protein and a Phospholipase Cβ–Dependent Ca2+ Transient

Abstract
Background: Alcohol is a potent neurotoxin that triggers the selective apoptosis of neuronal populations in the developing fetus. For neural crest cells, clinically relevant ethanol levels (0.3%) ra...
