Abstract
In affected young rats and mice, generalized involvement of the skeletal musculature may be seen. The muscles may have scattered white longitudinal streaks or show diffuse involvement with a dry, gritty white to yellow-gray appearance (Mason 1973) (Fig. 161). The lesions are bilaterally symmetric. In adult rats with long-term vitamin E deficiency, the muscles show marked atrophy and appear yellowish-brown with pale streaks (Telford 1971).
