Abstract
Hepatic vitamin A levels were much higher in cold-acclimated rats than in rats maintained at 25 [degree]C. This increase in hepatic vitamin A content does not stem from a sparing action induced by cold acclimation but is rather a simple corollary of increased food consumption that accompanies cold-exposure. Moreover, evidence is presented which suggests that the amount of vitamin A needed for rats to live at 0-2[degree]C is not markedly greater than the amount needed to live at 25 [degree]C.
