Abstract
IN a previous communication1, it was indicated that the variations in growth response of vitamin A deficient rats to carotene dissolved in different oils may be due to the difference in vitamin E contents of the oils. The effect of equalizing the level of tocopherol in the supplements has since been studied and the results found to support the explanation.
