The effect of administration of ascorbic acid to normal or vitamin A-deficient rats was studied in relation to hepatic levels of ubiquinones and sterols. Similar studies were made on tissues from guinea pigs deficient in vitamin C, vitamin A, or both. Vitamin A deficiency increased the concentration of liver ubiquinones in the rat. Administration of ascorbate did not influence tissue levels of ubiquinones or sterols. Vitamin C deficiency increased the concentration of sterols but not of ubiquinones in the liver of the guinea pig. Vitamin A deficiency did not increase ubiquinones nor did a combined deficiency of vitamins A and C. A secondary effect of vitamin C deficiency in the vitamin A-deficient rat is not the cause of increased ubiquinone levels.

1. Seventy-two adult guinea pigs were fed tuberculous sputum daily for periods ranging from 6 weeks to 4 months. 2. Thirty-seven of these were maintained on a diet partially deficient in vitamin C; twenty-six developed ulcerative intestinal tuberculosis. 3. In the remaining thirty-five animals whose diet was supplemented by an adequate amount of vitamin C only two developed tuberculous ulcers in the intestines. 4. From these studies we conclude that the ingestion of tubercle bacilli by the guinea pig is not the sole factor in the production of intestinal tuberculosis. 5. In our opinion, an adequate supply of vitamin C usually protects the guinea pig against ulcerative intestinal tuberculosis.
