Abstract

Butyric acid was topically applied on the interscapular region of Swiss albino mice before and after application of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in various doses and at different time intervals. Skin taken from the painted area, 4 h after TPA application, was subjected to ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) enzyme estimation. It was found that butyric acid inhibited the TPA-induced mouse skin ODC activity. The effect was dependent on the dose and duration of the butyric acid application.
