The effects of retinol and alpha-tocopherol-deficient and supplemented diets on the cytosolic concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in rat liver have been studied. Physiological lipoperoxidation (LPO) was observed in liver cytosol of control rats (TBARS = 0.315 +/- 0.034 n...
