Abstract
Mature white male rats were subjected to bilateral nephrectomy and the serum and liver vit. A concns. and liver vit. A content were studied with and without test doses of vit. A. No differences were observed between serum vit. A values in nephrectomized and sham operated control rats. There was also no difference in the liver vit. A concns. or content. The results are interpreted as indicating that the normal mature kidney plays no significant role in vit. A metabolism in such short term expts. in the rat.Keywords
