Abstract
Weight changes, food intakes and acetylating activities were measured in rats kept at 5° and 25°C while receiving graded levels of calcium pantothenate in their diet. The cold-induced increment in food intake was uniform at all levels of dietary calcium pantothenate, and it appears that, for growth, rats do not require a higher level of calcium pantothenate in their diet when exposed to 5°C. In vivo acetylating activity did not appear to be affected by cold exposure, although it was significantly lower in pantothenate-deficient rats.Keywords
