Abstract

When administration of a teratogen to an embryonic system disturbs the development of certain specific regions of the embryo, the teratogen becomes a potential tool for the study of the biochemical or metabolic basis to differentiation. These studies present a system with which one can gain quantitative information concerning the biochemical responses of specific regions of chicken embryos to the teratological agent, insulin. With this information is should be possible to design experiments to investigate the characteristics of these regions which make them differentially susceptible to insulin action.
