Abstract
Whitening of the teeth in rats was induced by deficiency of either vit. A or vit. E, and could be cured by restoration of whichever vit. was missing. A small dose of vit. A, sufficient to restore rapid growth in rats previously deprived, was ineffective in restoring the normal brown color of the teeth.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
