Vit. B12 (1 γ daily, by mouth) had no effect on the development of massive hepatic necrosis in rats fed experimental rations with yeast as sole source of protein.
Vit. B12 (0.5 γ daily by mouth) has shown significant lipotropic activity in rats fed a low protein-low fat ration. Under the experimental conditions chosen methionine was more effective than vitamin B12 in preventing fat deposition in the liver. A low protein-high fat diet seemed to interfere with the lipotropic effect of B12. |
