Abstract
The gastrocnemius muscles of 30-day-old guinea pigs subjected to a vitamin E-deficient diet for 21 or 30 days undergo a statistically significant increase in collagen N and decrease in contractile protein N. Masseter muscles are more resistant to the effects of vitamin E-lack on the protein components. Sarcoplasmic N is not altered by 21 or 30 day dietary deficiency regimens.Keywords
