“…The con sumption of food in terms of energy was sim ilar in the two groups. Each rat in the experi mental group consumed, on an average, one medium-size egg (50-54 g) per day which was equivalent to about 78 kcal; while a rat in the control group ate approximately 22-23 g of diet [13] equivalent to about 80 kcal. There were differences in the amounts of protein, carbohydrate, and fat consumed per day, these being 3.7, 14.6, and 0.75 g, respective ly, for the control group and 6.4, 0.35, and 5.8 g for the experimental group.…”

The total lipid content in the livers of rats consuming cooked whole eggs as the only source of food for 21 days was elevated to three times that of control animals. The incorporation of ¹⁴C-labelled amino acids into serum low-density lipoprotein apoproteins was increased by 52% in these rats, without affecting the incorporation into serum albumin and liver total proteins. The turnover of low-density lipoprotein in these egg-fed rats appears to be very high.

Depletion of liver and esophageal epithelium vitamin a after chronic moderate ethanol consumption in rats: Inverse relation to zinc nutriture

et al. 1986

This study was designed to determine whether chronic moderate ethanol ingestion alters the levels of vitamin A of liver and esophageal epithelium and if this is dependent on zinc nutriture. Forty male Sprague-Dawley 4-week-old rats were divided into five groups: zinc-deficient (0.9 ppm), ethanol-fed; zinc-deficient; zinc-adequate (25 ppm); zinc-adequate (25 ppm), ethanol-fed; and zinc-supplemented (50 ppm), ethanol-fed. All rats received liquid Lieber-DeCarli diet containing 4,000 IU per liter of vitamin A for 5 weeks. Zinc-deficient, ethanol-fed rats and zinc-adequate, ethanol-fed rats and zinc-supplemented, ethanol-fed rats received 15.5% of the caloric intake as ethanol while zinc-deficient and zinc-adequate rats received isocaloric amounts of maltose dextrin. All groups were pair-fed to zinc-deficient, ethanol-fed rats. In addition, a group of eight rats designated as weight-restricted controls were fed a diet similar to the one given to zinc-adequate rats but in the amount to obtain a final weight as in the zinc-deficient group. After 35 days, the liver histology was normal in all rats, and no fat accumulation was noted. Hepatic vitamin A concentration was significantly decreased in zinc-adequate, ethanol-fed rats (41 +/- 10 micrograms per gm) and further in zinc-supplemented, ethanol-fed rats (12 +/- 5 micrograms per gm) as compared to controls (137 +/- 49). A highly significant negative correlation between serum zinc and liver vitamin A was found in ethanol-fed animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
