Abstract excerpt
Excessive intake of retinol or of retinoic acid causes a syndrome of characteristic toxic effects known as hypervitaminosis A. To test the role of the nuclear retinoic acid receptor (RAR gamma) in this process we produced mice with a targeted disruption of the RAR gamma gene and examined toxic effects of repeated doses of retinoic acid and two other synthetic retinoids, Ro 15-1570 and Ro 40-6055. Surprisingly,...
