Abstract

The rate of regeneration of liver and plasma proteins, and haemoglobin and erythrocytes on adequate diets containing 7% protein from jowar, 5% protein from jowar and 2% protein from Ambadi or Methi, or 5% protein from jowar and 2% protein from casein was studied in Haffkine inbred male rats of about 150 g bodyweight. The mixtures of jowar and the leaf proteins under study were superior to proteins from jowar alone in their capacity to regenerate liver and plasma proteins, haemoglobin and erythrocytes and compared favourably with that of mixtures of jowar proteins and casein.-M.
