Abstract
Vitamin E deficiency in rabbits results in a large increase in liver xanthine dehydrogenase activity, suggesting that vitamin E regulates the synthesis of this enzyme. It is postulated that increased liver xanthine dehydrogenase activity may be responsible for the anemia observed in vitamin E-deficient animals.Keywords
