Abstract
Summary
Changes in liver glycogen, water and potassium were compared in normal and potassium-deficient rats following administration of glucose, fructose and alpha-alanine, with and without potassium. Potassium-deficient rats deposited liver glycogen equally as well as normal rats. The simultaneous increases in liver water and potassium were likewise similar in the 2 groups of animals. No significant differences in changes in liver glycogen, water or potassium were noted with simultaneous administration of potassium.
