Abstract
A study has been made of the influence of the age and of the sex of the albino rat on the hepatic content of ascorbic acid. These studies involved measurement of the ascorbic acid in the livers of male and female rats of various ages, ranging from suckling young to mature rats 42 weeks of age, while they were being maintained on a commercial breeding ration. The present investigation also includes a study of the effect of pregnancy and lactation on hepatic ascorbic acid. The results of these studies may be summarized as follows:Keywords
