Effect of Different Levels of Hexahomoserine on Growth and Hematopoiesis in Rats

Abstract
Young white rats, divided into groups of 6, were maintained for 28 days on a basal diet containing zein, tryptophan, histidine, and 2% DL-lysine HC1. In addition to the basal diet, each group received a different level of DL-hexahomoserine (alpha-amino; epsilon-hydroxy caproic acid). At levels of 0.08-0.33%, the growth rate was retarded without the simultaneous development of anemia; when 1% was fed, the growth rate was either retarded or completely inhibited, and the animals developed anemia.
