Popis: ConclusionsIn contradistinction to the rat, the skeletal muscles of the male rabbit with a partial or complete dietary deficiency of vitamin E are, under the conditions employed, more sensitive to morphological alterations than the testes. The absence of testicular degeneration in the rabbit does not preclude the existence of vitamin E deficiency and necrosis of the skeletal muscles.
