Effect of depletion of vitamin A, followed by supplementation with retinyl acetate or retinoic acid, on regeneration of rat liver

[摘要]

After partial hepatectomy the net increase in tissue weight and in RNA, DNA and proteins in the regenerating liver was markedly less in vitamin A-deleted or retinoic acid-supplemented male rats, compared with the corresponding normal control or retinyl acetate-supplemented ones.
