Summary
As determined by in vivo studies using [1-14C]l-leucine and [1-14C] glycine, vitamin E deficiency in young rabbits caused a higher turnover rate of liver proteins and of plasma albumin and globulin fractions. This effect was most clearly and consistently observed in animals fed a diet containing 10 mg of the nonabsorbable polymeric antioxidant Anoxomer per g of fat in the diet.
Zusammenfassung
Eine erhöhte Turnover-Rate der Leberproteine, des Plasmaalbumins und der Plasmaglobulinfraktionen in Vitamin-E-frei ernährten jungen Kaninchen wurde durch In-vivo-Untersuchungen mit [1-14C]l-Leuein und [l-14C]Glycin festgestellt. Dieser Effekt trat am deutlichsten auf und war am besten reproduzierbar, wenn das Futter der Tiere 10 mg des nicht resorbierbaren polymeren Antioxidans Anoxomer pro g Fett enthielt.
