Summary
This experiment took 90 days and was performed on rats. It was established that when vitamin B2 is introduced with the interval of one week in the dose of 20γ per day, its action is decreased by four times in comparison with that when the vitamin is given daily. If the interval between the feedings equaled 2 weeks the action of vitamin B2 decreased even more. Increase in weight was taken as a criterion of vitamin B2 activity.
The above data allow us to recommend systematic administration of vitamin B2.
