A Study of the Dietary Factors Concerned in Nutritional Muscular Dystrophy

Abstract
The experimental results lead to the conclusion that there must be at least two factors involved in the prevention or in the cure of muscle dystrophy. Both factors are present in fresh green alfalfa or in whole wheat germ. On the other hand, one of these factors is supplied by wheat germ oil (cold pressed), while the other is present in lettuce or in dry alfalfa. At least one of the factors is easily destroyed by ethereal-ferric chloride, by drying or by extraction with water or alcohol.
