2008, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In fetal rat lungs, the concentration of retinyl palmitate and total retinyl ester levels increases rapidly to a peak on gestational day 18. There is a steady decline thereafter reaching a nadir after birth [35-37]. Based on these findings, we chose embryonic days 18, 19, and 20 of gestation for retinoic acid treatment.
