R A Lopes et al. Arch Latinoam Nutr. 1980 Jun.

Abstract

Hypervitaminosis A induces the following changes in the rat sublingual gland: smaller size acini with lower cells and smaller nuclei. The serous demilunes show smaller cells and nuclei. The striated ducts show smaller and disorganized cells with smaller nuclei. These data were confirmed by morphometric techniques.
