Abstract
No amount of cod liver oil added to a rickets-producing diet is adequate to prevent rickets in cretin rats as determined from histological studies of the epiphysis. In cretin rats, supplying antirachitic vitamins in the form of vitamin-rich foodstuffs to a nutritious diet consisting of table scraps can not prevent rickets.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
