Abstract
The band at 325 [mu] [mu] was absent from the liver oils of rats suffering from vitamin A deficiency. This band was present in the liver oils of similar rats which had been cured by carotene. These data indicate that carotene is converted into vitamin A and that the 325 [mu] [mu] band is an index of the presence of the vitamin.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
