Abstract
Summary
Young white rats were fed diets containing 2% DL-lysine HCl and different levels of DL-hexahomoserine for 28 days. When the diet contained 0.08-0.33% DL-hexahomoserine, the growth rate was reduced without simultaneous development of anemia. When the diet contained 1% DL-hexahomoserine, growth was almost completely inhibited and the majority of the animals showed definite symptoms of anemia.
