摘要:
AbstractThe effect of retinoids on forelimb regeneration in the leopard frog,Rana pipiens, was examined by the topical application of a concentrated solution of vitamin A palmitate to the amputated left limb stumps of 30 froglets. This treatment resulted in the enhancement of regeneration; regenerative outgrowths of experimental frogs were more frequent, larger in size, and had improved morphology compared to their untreated control counterparts. We conclude that vitamin A palmitate, topically administered in concentrated dosages, exerts a positive effect on the regenerative capacity ofRana pipiens.
