Vitamin A palmitate orally administered to young, post-metamorphic Triturus alpestris (Amphibia-Urodela), for 4 and 7 days after bilateral forelimb amputation at the middle of the zeugopodium, enhanced the mean DNA content of the blastema cells. Moreover, the number of cells in mitosis was nearly twice as high in vitamin A treated animals than in control ones.
