Abstract
SummaryRabbits maintained on a torula yeast, Vit. E deficient diet developed a severe and rapidly progressing muscular dystrophy. This condition was not prevented by addition to the diet of 1 ppm selenium or of supplements of dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate alone or in combination. Additions of natural feedstuffs (wheat bran, linseed oil meal or kidney beans) to the semi-purified diet did not fully prevent the condition, although they did lessen the severity of the lesion and increase the average number of days of survival indicating deficiencies other than selenium and Vit. E were involved in the particular experimental diets used. A marked alopecia was observed in all animals fed diets not containing a natural feedstuff.
