Abstract
A mixture of sterols from the nut was irradiated with ultra-violet light, whereby the power of promoting growth and calcification in young rats, on a diet deficient in fat-soluble vitamins, was imparted to the sterols. The mixture of sterols contained no appreciable quantity of vitamin A, either before or after irradiation.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
