title: [Nucleic acid metabolism in testes from adult rats deficient in vitamin A].
abstract: Our study related to degenerescence of testes in vitamin A deficient rats led to the following observations : decrease of DNA, RNA on one hand and AMP, ADP and ATP on the other hand. These observations are considered as related to decrease of DNA polymerase activity.
