Abstract
Age has no influence on the linear relationship between renal weight and protein intake. The linear formula, protein intake = 0.0183 renal weight[long dash]2.75, is a satisfactory expression of the relationship not only for young cf rats 70 days of age, but also for adult rats 400 days old when the protein intake consists of casein in adequate amounts. The percentage and actual increase in renal weight which follows a given percentage increase in protein intake decreases with increased age.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
