Abstract
The appearance of vitamin E deficiency in rats and mice after the introduction of 2% of cod-liver oil to a diet containing 85% of whole-grain ground cereals is described. Evidence is given to show that the deficiency can be prevented by the reduction of the cod-liver oil content to 1%.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
