저단백질식이(低蛋白質食餌)에 가공육류식품(加工肉類食品) 첨가급식시(添加給食時) 백서(白鼠) 성장(成長) 및 혈청성분(血淸成分)에 미치는 영향(影響)

This experiment was designed to observe some influence on the serum components of growing rats maintained with basal diet supplemented with sausage. Forty male Albino rats were used as the experimental animals and the subjects were divided into four diet groups (control group; feeding of basal diet containing 10.8% and 10.4% of protein and lipid respectively, A group; feeding of sausage containing 12.5% and 27.6% of protein and lipid respectively supplemented with basal diet every day, B group; feeding of sausage supplemented with basal diet once a three-day and C group; feeding of sausage supplemented with basal diet once a five-day) and each group was fed on the corresponding diet for forty-days. The contents of protein, lipid and cholesterol in their serum were determined. The result obtained are summarized as follows: 1) The final body weight and liver weight of the A group were increased more than other groups. 2) The protein contents in the serum of the B group was increased more than other groups. 3) The total lipid contents in the serum of the A group and B group were decreased compared with control group. 4) The total cholesterol, ester form cholesterol and free form cholesterol in the serum of the A group were decreased, but the total cholesterol and ester form cholesterol in that of the C group were increased compared with control group.
