Abstract

Antler is one of the secondary sex characteristics, which is one of the traditional cherish medicine with a higher medical value. The antler occurrence and regeneration process is not only regulated by hormone but also by the regulation of nutrition factors. Nutrition factors regulate the occurrence of horn and initial antler and the development of antler. This paper summarized the results of effects on nutrient factors on antler occurrence and regeneration, analyzed the path ways of antler occurrence and regeneration regulated by nutrition factors, proposed a viewpoint for antler regeneration by direct and indirect ways.
