[Effect of diet on the mitotic activity and rate of cytolysis of intestinal epithelial cells in tadpoles of the common toad, Bufo bufo (Amphibia, Anura)]. 
Effects of diet on the mitotic activity and cellular mortality rate of the intestinal epithelium cells have been examined in Toad tadpoles.  As yolk is utilized, the composition of diet has little effect on these 2 parameters.  As development goes on, the cellular mortality rate increases with dietary carbohydrate, fat or protein supplementation.  But only the fats affect the mitotic activity.
