Summary

Chicks fed for 11 days with finely chopped green grass and miller porridge with 1% cholesterin and 2.5% of sunflower seed oil, developed liver hypertrophy. The content of water in the liver, as well as of the lecithin+cephalin and sphingomyelin decreased, while the total content of the lipids increased. Daily administration of 1 ml of 1% glutathione solution markedly reduced these disturbances.
