Corrected fluorescence emission spectra and tissue distributions of the autofluorescent pigments which accumulate during normal aging and as a consequence of vitamin E deficiency were studied in albino rats. In the retinal pigment epithelium, the age-related pigment (lipofuscin) and the pigment related to vitamin E deficiency had essentially identical emission spectra. Peak emission occurred from 590-650 nm. Young animals which has been kept on a vitamin E deficient diet for 17 wk after weaning showed significant accumulations of autofluorescent pigment in uterus, duodenum and retinal pigment epithelium, but not in the spinal cord or inferior olivary nucleus of the brain. Old animals (96 wk) fed a commercial diet with adequate vitamin E had accumulated lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium, spinal cord gray matter and inferior olivary nucleus, but not in the duodenum or uterus. While the autofluorescent pigments related to aging and vitamin E dficiency have similar properties, their tissue distributions are quite different.
