Abstract
In older vitamin E deficient female rats the pattern of mating behavior, number of ova ovulated and fertilized, and early development and transport of ova through the oviducts is comparable to that of females raised on the same diet supplemented by alpha-tocopherol. The low fecundity rate of vitamin E deficient rats is, therefore, apparently due to disturbances of the uterine implantation of the ovum rather than to failure of ovulation, fertilization, or transport of ova through the oviducts.Keywords
