Introduction: For differentiation and maintenance of epithelial cells in vitro and vivo under the influ-ence of retinoic acid treatment, skin seems to be a major target organ for both the normal and patholo-gical states. The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of retinoic acid on fetal skin if given to albino mice during pregnancy....

... there appeared to be gaps between Biomedica Vol. 30, Issue 1, Jan. -Mar., 2014 the cells which were presumably due to accumulat- ion of inter cellular matrix. Epidermis was discer- nibly thicker than that of the control group; this was possibly due to an increase in the number of cells resulting from rapid proliferation of those in stratum basal (Fig. 2). There was no change in der- mal connective tissue of the skin of both groups. Mean epidermis thickness of treated group was hi- gher when compared to that of the control groups, the difference was statistically significant (p-value < ...
