Abstract
Male Wistar rats weighing 90 to 100 g were fed on diets containing defatted millet flour to provide 5, 10 and 15% protein. After 6 weeks of feeding adrenal weight, total lipids, cholesterol, phospholipids and glycerides were significantly more than those of rats on a 10% casein diet. Adrenal phosphatidyl ethanolamine was increased in rats on millet at all the protein levels, whereas phosphatidyl choline increased in rats on millet protein at 15% and decreased in rats on 5% protein. Significant alterations were observed in other phospholipid fractions. Incorporation of acetate-1-14C into adrenal lipids was less and that of glucose-U-14C, palmitate-1-14C and NaH232PO4 was more in rats on millet diets than in those on casein
