Description
This text examines subjects from a variety of disciplines to report on the most recent experimental observations in basic, as well as in applied, research of natural and synthetic retinoids. The chapters cover such areas as metabolism, nutrition, molecular and cell biology, developmental biology pharmacology and therapeutic use of vitamin A and its derivatives.
