| Popis: | SummaryStudies of Vitamin C excretion before and after periods of artificial fever show that fever increases the Vitamin C requirement of man. Studies of Vitamin C stores in adrenals and kidneys of guinea pigs show that artificial fever increases the requirement or accelerates the destruction of Vitamin C. Since guinea pigs cannot lose Vitamin C in sweat, an increase in the physiological need for Vitamin C during fever is indicated. |
