Abstract
Zymesterol prepared from the mixture of sterols obtained on saponification of yeast fat was irradiated with ultraviolet light and tested on rachitic rats for the presence of vitamin D. It was found biologically inactive. Marked healing was effected when 1/100,000 mgm. of irradiated ergosterol was fed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
