This study was designed to compare the metabolic effects of varicous types of Korean diet. 40 males and same number of females of Albino rats, divided into eight groups, 5 rats each. 1 Group; Sugar casein standard Group 2 Group; Rice casein standard Group 3 Group; Rice group 4 Group; 65% Rice +35% Anchovy 5 Group; 65% Rice +35% Chinese cabbage 6 Group; 65% Rice+10% Anchovy +25% Chinese cabbage 7 Group; 65%. Rice+26% Chinese cabbage+3.5% Anchovy+4% Bean+1% Potatoes+0.2% Sea Weeds+0.3% Seasonings 8 Group; 47% Rice+24% Chinese cabbage+20.5% Anchovy+5% Bean+1% Potatoes+1.8% Sea Weeds+0.7% Seasonings The rats were kept in individual cage and given 8 different diet for 10 weeks. The result of this study were elucidated as fallow. Food intake of sugar casein standard group and rice casein standard group and Seoul diet pattern group were high, Rice diet group showed low food intake. F.E.R, P.E.R, body weight, organ weight were the similar results. The nitrogen content in various organs were no great difference, but nitrogen metabolism and total nitrogen retention were significant differences. The lipid content in the liver showed no significant differences, but fecal lipid and serum cholesterol showed significant differences. This study showed the glucose content in urine and feces were due to the dietary carbohydrate content. In other word, the results of this study showed no significant differences between sugar casein standard group and rice casein standard group, but significiant differences between standard group and experimental group.
