Abstract: 

Unilateral injection of 10 mg all-trans retinoic acid (in 1 ml
of castor oil) into the early pedicle anlage of a male fallow deer
resulted in accelerated growth of the cranial appendage, and altered
pedicle and first antler shape on the treatment side, whereas pedicle
and antler growth on the control side, injected with 1 ml of vehicle
solution only, was normal. It is concluded that retinoic acid is able to
alter pedicle and first antler morphogenesis, presumably by affecting
the positional information of the periosteal cells covering the
incipient pedicle.
