Effects of a Combined Deficiency of Vitamins E and B 6 on Blood Picture of Rat. ∗

Abstract

Summary

Sprague-Dawley rats deficient in both vit. E and B₆ exhibited a greatly increased peripheral neutrophil count. Supplementation of the diet with either of these vitamins prevented this increase. The B₆-deficient rats exhibited a slight lymphopenia which was not affected by vit. E. None of the animals developed anemia.
