Induction of fatty liver in rats by feeding on diets containing 1.5% orotic acid for 7 days, was accompanied with the increase in the lipid TBA value and with the decrease in the lipid phosphorus concentration.However, fat accumulation was prevented by injecting 30mg of myoinositol or choline sub cutaneously every day during the experimental period.The prevention was found to be about 20-50%with myoinositol and about 90% with choline. However, the effects of choline and myoinositol were not synergistic; the effect due to the injection of both choline and myoinositol was rather close to the effect of myoinositol alone.The increase in lipid TBA value and the decrease in lipid phosphorus concentration were also found to be prevented by injecting these lipotropic factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
