Abstract
A dose of .0002 mgm. of irradiated ergosterol will partially protect against, and cure, experimental rickets in rats. X-rays, when applied to a dry sample of activated ergosterol exposed to the air, exert a destructive action upon vitamin D. This destruction appears to require large doses of x-rays.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
