Abstract
The female rat was very much less susceptible to vitamin K deficiency than the male. This increased resistance of the female rat to vitamin K deficiency was not affected by the prevention of coprophagy, nor was it due to lower food intake or slower rate of growth, but was apparently the result of a true sex difference presumably under hormonal control.Keywords
