INTRODUCTION Vitamin 1 was f i r s t known as a naturally securing a n tl©xidant inhibiting the formation of f a t peroxides in v itro and as the fat-soluble vitamin which prevents fo ctal resorption in female rats and dogsneration of germinal epithelium in male rats*

I ts absence

from the d ie t has also boon related to muscular dystrophy in rabbits, encephalo&alaeia In chicks and a groat variety of abnormalities in 1 various species of animals as described in many reviews* there are several forms of vitamin $ which are named tocopherols.

They are chroman derivatives differing in the number

and positions of without

groups In the bsnsenoid nucleus. The compound

groups is named taeol* and i t has three asymmetric G
