Notes:
Summary White rats submitted to a purified diet without vitamin A develop normally with carotene. When these animals are treated with thiouracil they show trophic alterations analogous to these observed in animals submitted to a diet without vitamine or provitamine A. These disturbances are cured immediately when vitamine A or powdered thyroids are given; on the other hand they continue when the dose of carotene is augmented. Iodine too exercises a protective and curative effect with an antagonistic action to thiouracil. The authors interpret these disturbances as due to an inhibition of the carotinase produced by thiouracil.
