Abstract
The plasma level of sialic acid (NeuAc) in inherently scorbutic [Osteo genic Disorder Shionogi (ODS)] rats was increased by 21 days of vitami n C deficiency and simultaneous vitamins C and E deficiency. The brain content of NeuAc was decreased by deficiencies of these vitamins. The NeuAc level in the liver was not affected significantly by these defi ciencies.
