oa South African Medical Journal - The biological assessment of protein quality: sequential studies of urinary nitrogen excretion in the ablino rat under dietary conditions Part 1

Abstract

In a series of 5 experiments growing male albino rats were distributed among groups of 5 or 7 each and subjected to certain dietary treatments for a period of 28 days. Comparable control groups were killed at the beginning of each trial with a view to obtaining information regarding the body composition of the experimental rats before dietary treatment.
