Abstract
1. The effect of feeding α‐tocopherol (5 to 180 μg/g diet) for 24 days on the concentrations of α‐tocopherol in various chicken tissues was investigated.
2. Tissue α‐tocopherol concentrations responded to dietary intake in the order: heart =; lung > liver > thigh muscle > brain, and in all cases the relationship between the concentrations of dietary and tissue α‐tocopherol was highly significant (0.997 ≤ r ≤ 1).
3. Plasma α‐tocopherol concentration appears to be a good index (r ≥ 0.910, P< 0.001) of α‐tocopherol status of lung, liver and heart.
