Abstract
Cells in pathologic livers contain uniformally less vitamin A than those in normal livers. The alcohol form of vitamin A is more concentrated in normal than in diseased hepatic cells. The distribution of vitamin A between the various liver cell fractions does not seem to be affected by either age or disease.Keywords
