The ubiquitousity of labelled tocopherol in the cockerel body.
A recovery experiment with a young cock weighing 1 kg showed that after 3 days, radioactivity from the labelled vitamin E was distributed to tissues of all of the 11 organs being investigated. The liver had the highest concentration of the label, but gut, fat tissue and muscle had a total content each comparable with that of the liver. The air expired during the 3 days also exposed radioactivity.
