Abstract
Summary
The effect of various carbohydrates on the serum protein and serum protein fractions in rats have been investigated. Without L-lysine supplementation, rats fed raw or cooked potato starch showed the lowest serum protein and serum albumin concentration; whereas rats fed glucose showed the highest serum albumin concentration. Lysine supplementation increased serum protein and serum albumin concentration in rats regardless of the sources of carbohydrates. The type of carbohydrate in the diet influences the serum protein pattern in rats,
