Abstrakt: The effects of large doses of vitamin A during gestation on the embryo rat are described. Cleft palate formation, dose-related disorganization of mandibular and maxillary growth due to abnormal cartilage deposits, and relative macroglossia are described. The previously described lathyrogenic and teratogenic affects of vitamin A in high doses is confirmed and further study suggested for possible deformities of the developing ear.
