Abstract

Growth and development of the oestrogen-primed oviduct of immature chicks in terms of weight, length, total protein, total RNA, total DNA and total phospholipids are markedly arrested on deprivation of vitamin A; supplementation with retinyl acetate reversed the effect of the deficiency almost fully, whereas retinoic acid was only partly effective.
