Abstract
Groups of guinea pigs on a basic diet of commercial rabbit pellets supplemented by fresh green grass or stored roots exhibited marked differences in the ascorbic acid level of their plasma. These differences were not accompanied by any significant variation either in the complement titer of the serum or the prothrombin time of the plasma. Such minor variations as were observed in these two activities did not parallel each other.
