mortality/aging
• all mice treated with a low dose of retinoic acid at E9 die perinatally unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
|
skeleton
• at P10, neural arches in the lumbar region remain open in 50% of mice unlike in wild-type mice
• however, the neural arches close by P14
|
• sternum ossification centers in retinoic acid treated mice are shifted resulting in a crankshaft sternum unlike in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• deformed and wedge-shaped in the tail with fewer proliferating cells
|
• 8 of 11 retinoic acid-treated mice lack the sixth vertebra unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• at P10, the vertebral growth plate in the tail is compressed and disrupted die to thinner zones of proliferating and hypertrophic cartilage compared to in wild-type mice
• fewer proliferating cells are present in the growth plate of tail vertebrae compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at P10, neural arches lack processus spinosi unlike in wild-type mice
|
• in the tail
|
• 50% of retinoic acid treated mice exhibit a loss of ossification centers in cervical vertebrae unlike in similarly treated wild-type mice

homeostasis/metabolism

• 8 of 11 retinoic acid-treated mice lack the sixth vertebra unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• sternum ossification centers in retinoic acid treated mice are shifted resulting in a crankshaft sternum unlike in similarly treated wild-type mice
• retinoic acid treated mice have cleft palates resulting in breathing difficulties and premature death unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• treatment with folic acid does not improve incidence of spina bifida occulta
