Abstract
The effects on tracheal glands of benzo[a]pyrene and of vitamin A deficiency were examined in explants derived from normal and vitamin A deficient hamsters, respectively. Both treatments caused hyperplasia and squamous metaplasia of the tracheal glands. It is suggested that a proportion of respiratory tract lesions may originate in tracheal glands.
