Abstract
Two strains of mice highly susceptible to nutritionally induced obesity were found to have a higher caloric requirement for the utilization of a low protein diet than a strain which is moderately susceptible and one that is completely resistant. One obesity-susceptible strain required less nitrogen than the resistant strain.Keywords
