The relative weights, histological changes, cholesterol contents and reduced glutathione contents of several organs of the control and pantothenic acid deficient rats were examined for several weeks experimental period. In addition, the lymphocyte count in blood, glucose-tolerance-test and acetylation power of the control and pantothenic acid deficinet rats were examined.
