Abstract

1. Groups of female albino rats were given 12–20 mg of one of the eight known toco-chromanols in 0.2 ml arachis oil by stomach tube, and were killed 2, 4, 8, 16 or 24 h afterwards. The liver, spleen, heart, kidneys, brain, small intestine and a portion of striated muscle were removed from each rat and analysed for the tocochromanol given.
