Abstract
Hitherto published work furnishes no basis for conclusions as to the reality of vit. P. Human subjects suffering from generalized vit. deficiency (spontaneous, conditioned, or induced) have a decreased capillary resistance. This is controlled by adm. of lemon or orange juice. The active substance is not ascorbic acid. Extracts containing flavanones prepared from orange and lemon juice and from orange peel are active.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
