Abstract |
1. Male, adult guinea-pigs received a scorbutogenic diet and a daily supplement of 1-0 mg ascorbic acid/100 g body-weight. 2. Restriction of food intake for a period of 17 d resulted in a 25% loss in body-weight and a significant reduction in the retention of ascorbic acid by the spleen, liver and adrenal glands.
