Ineffectiveness of Parenteral Pyroxidine in Relieving or Preventing the Egg White Syndrome in the Rat. ∗

Abstract

Summary

Parenteral doses of pyridoxine failed to cure or to delay the onset of the egg white syndrome in rats on a ration which included the essential fatty acids. The assumption by others, therefore, that “pyridoxine and essential fatty acids act mutually to enhance or replace biotin,” is not supported by these experiments with the rat.
