[Effect of vitamin A on the adhesive interaction of cells in epithelial tissue].
Both the increasing and decreasing contents of vitamin A in rats induced a lowering of cell adhesion in the skin multilayer epithelium, and that of their packing density. However, the same stimulus did not alter cell adhesion in the small intestinal monolayer epithelium. The data obtained show that vitamin A may serve as a factor modulating intercellular adhesive interactions with tissue specificity.
