Polar retinoids in Osilinus lineatus after intramuscular injections with retinol or retinaldehyde.
Retinoic acid isomers and total retinoic acid (sum of isomers) in digestive gland-gonad complex of O. lineatus after injection with DMSO (control), retinol (4 µg/g body mass), or retinal (4 µg/g body mass). Values represent mean±SEM (n = 3). Asterisks indicate significant differences from respective control group (P<0.05, one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey post-hoc test).
