MECHANISM OF ADAPTATION TO A THREONINE DEFICIENT DIET. V. EFFECT OF QUANTITY OF SUCROSE AND CELLULOSE ON THE SEVERITY OF THREONINE DEFIICIENCY
Abstract
A significant difference in liver fat levels was observed. However, when one-half of the sucrose in these diets is replaced with alphacel liver fat levels are significantly reduced in both the control groups and the threonine- deficient groups. Moreover, the severity of the fatty liver syndrome in rats fed a threonine-deficient diet containing alphacel is markedly reduced. Livers from threonine-deficient rats fed alphacel had liver fat levels only slightly deviated from their controls. No significant differences were observed in liver weights between any of the four groups. Weight and food records are presented. No significant differences were recroded in any of the measurements.
