ABSTRACT
The administration of large doses of corticosterone to normal adult male rats resulted in a rapid loss of vitamin A from the plasma, liver, adrenals and thymus. Of the organs studied, the thymus appeared to be the most sensitive to treatment. The steroid-mediated depression of plasma and tissue contents of vitamin A was reversed when animals were treated with corticosterone in combination with vitamin A.
