Abstract
Summary
1. The dietary effect of antibiotics, aureomycin and sulfasuxidine, on phospholipide and nucleoprotein synthesis was studied in rat livers. 2. The addition of aureomycin (25 mg/rat/day for 4 and 8 weeks) to a low protein-low fat diet caused a marked stimulation of growth and food consumption in the rat. However, there were no significant changes in the.liver lipides or the synthesis of phospholipides or nucleoproteins. 3. Addition of 5% sulfasuxidine to a low protein-low fat diet produced a significant lipotropic effect. There was a significant decrease in total lipides and an increase in lipide phosphorylation.
