Abstract

SummaryBovine serum protein was fractionated with a continuous flow electrophoresis apparatus. Vit. A and carotene were principally associated with albumin. When one co-twin of identical twin heifers was subjected to Vit. A deficiency, serum albumin was progressively reduced. Following an intravenous injection of carotene, the deficient heifer low in serum albumin retained approximately one-half the plasma-carotene concentration as her normal co-twin. Serum albumin returned to normal in the deficient co-twin within 10 days following intravenous Vit. A administration.
