Abstract
The mixed proteins of mackerel, sardine and tuna muscle were shown to afford superior growth to casein in weanling rats when fed at levels which give suboptimal growth with casein. The superiority of mackerel protein is further attested by the fact that it causes greater recovery in weight and a more pronounced stimulation in hemoglobin regeneration than casein in rats rendered hypoproteinemic and tested by the method of Cannon. Mackerel protein proved to have a potency equal to casein in causing a regeneration of plasma protein.Keywords
