The Effect of Mineral Oil Administration Upon the Nutritional Economy of Fatsoluble Vitamins

I. Studies with the Vitamin A of Butter Fat

(From the Laboratory of Physiological Chemistry, Yale University, New Haven.)

1. Mineral oil causes a considerable loss of vitamin A to the animal organism, if the mineral oil is mixed with the vitamin A (in the form of butter fat) prior to ingestion.

2. The administration of the mineral oil separately from the butter fat results in only a very slight diversion of vitamin A.

3. Moderate increase of the butter fat intake appears to protect the animal from any vitamin A deficiency when the mineral oil is given separately.
