AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF A SO CALLED "PELLAGRA-PRODUCING" DIET

Abstract

The restricted diet administered to pellagrins with improvement of their skin lesions was inadequate for the normal nutrition of young albino rats (24) . These animals developed the appearance of vitamin G deficiency when given the basal diet alone or the basal diet and casein. They were protected from this condition by supplements of ventriculin or yeast.
