Feeding and breeding of laboratory animals. XI. Vitamin E deficiency in mice on a diet containing 85% of whole-grain cereals, after the addition of 2% of cod-liver oil

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%.
