Abstract
Rats maintained on low-protein or protein-free diets for periods up to 8 wks. exhibit a marked decrease in the succinoxidase activity of the liver. No changes were observed in the cytochrome oxidaae activity of liver or in the adenosinetriphosphatase activity of skeletal muscle. Total liver arginase was observed to decrease, but the activity per gram of liver remained the same as those of the controls.Keywords
