In the course of our previous trial it came to cur mind that a chronical administration of ethanol to rats might influence hepatic vitamin A content as a result of impaired liver function. Six groups of albino rats weighing on the average 110 grams each at the commencement of assay were fed with either basal diet of low protein content, basal diet plus 1 percent of dried ginseng or high protein diet plus 1 percent of dried ginseng and administered with ethanol either chronically or occasionally for a period of 4 weeks. Upon the photometric determination it was found that neither ginseng treatment nor high protein diet did influence hepatic content of vitamin A to any significant degree.
