INSULIN-INDUCED ABNORMALITIES IN CHICKENSEby causing disturbances to cellular carbohydrate meta- bolism at critical periods during development.Further, I have experimental proof that insulin-induced deformities can be prevented to a remarkable extent by injecting nicotinamide and riboflavin into eggs along with insulin, and details of this work will be given in another paper dealing with the preventive aspect of the problem. SummaryThough genetic factors play an important part in the causation of congenital anomalies, it has been shown in recent years that certain environmental factors can interfere with the normal developmental processes in the embryo.An account of the skeletal abnormalities induced by insulin has been given.It has been suggested that unchecked insulin hypoglycaemia during the early stages of development may adversely affect the development of the cartilaginous skeleton and of the eyes by depriving them of their essential constituent mucoprotein to varying degrees.This experimental research has been conducted in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Liverpool, with the aid of
