Abstract
Mice of the C57 strain grew at the maximum rate under the conditions employed when the diet contained 6 µg of pantothenate per gram. A and C3H mice did not grow at quite the maximum rate when the diet contained 8 µg of pantothenate per gram. Biotin was observed to aid in the restoration of hair and hair color. No deficiency of inositol or p-aminobenzoic acid could be demonstrated when the diet contained adequate amounts of pantothenic acid and was presumably complete in all other respects.Keywords
