Effects of food restriction and lysine supplementation on protein metabolism in the rat
Abstract
dc:descriptionThese studies examined the effects of prolonged food restriction and lysine supplementation on growth, muscle mass, and protein metabolism in the rat. Two levels of food restriction (40% and 75%) were utilized during an 8-week feeding period to produce moderate or severe undernutrition. Rats restricted to 75% of ad libitum intake lost weight, but reached a stable body weight during the last 4 weeks. The stable body weight was achieved when the animals reached an energy intake/unit body weight comparable to ad libitum fed, age controls.
